The requirement covers ongoing delivery of orthodontic care under a new patient dental services contract, with the existing service model forming the basis for assessment. The Office of the West Midlands is acting on behalf of the ICB. The selected provider, Ortho Exclusively Ltd, is a Birmingham-based small and medium-sized enterprise and incumbent orthodontic services provider. This is a clinical healthcare services opportunity, specifically orthodontic treatment and associated patient services, rather than the supply of equipment or general dental services. Delivery is focused on the local patient population served by NHS Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board. The process has reached an intention to award under the Provider Selection Regime, but the contract had not formally been awarded when this notice was issued. The proposed route is Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. Ortho Exclusively Ltd was selected for the single requirement. The proposed contract runs for seven years from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036, with an option to extend by three years. Its stated lifetime value is £7,939,634.41 across ten years, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. The award was approved on 14 August 2026. Assessment used equally weighted pass/fail criteria covering quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and choice, health inequalities, and social value. Representations were due by midnight on 7 September 2026. This outcome demonstrates sustained NHS demand for commissioned orthodontic services in Birmingham and Solihull at substantial local scale, and shows that an incumbent provider with an established service model was considered capable of continuing delivery. A future competitor would need the clinical capacity, governance and operational maturity to provide orthodontic care reliably to the area’s patients. Credible evidence would need to address quality and innovation, value, integration with commissioners and wider services, service sustainability, patient access, reduction of health inequalities, patient choice and social value. The assessment also relied on current performance and evidence gathered against key lines of enquiry, so providers would need a strong record of delivery, documented outcomes and the ability to demonstrate that their proposed model would meet the commissioner’s requirements. ## Notice The Office of the West Midlands on behalf of NHS Birmingham & Solihull ICB are awarding PDS contracts on a Direct Award Process C basis for the Provision of Orthodontic Services.
