## Summary

NHS Herefordshire and Worcestershire Integrated Care Board is procuring orthodontic services for patients in the Herefordshire and Worcestershire area, within the West Midlands. The requirement covers ongoing delivery of orthodontic treatment through a patient service model, under a seven-year contract with a possible three-year extension. The Office of the West Midlands managed the process on the ICB’s behalf. The service is classified as orthodontic services (CPV 85131100) and falls within healthcare services. The selected supplier is Redcliffe Orthodontics, an SME based in Worcester, which is the incumbent provider and has been delivering orthodontic services to patients in the area.

The procurement has reached the award stage: Redcliffe Orthodontics was selected through Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. The award decision was approved on 14 August 2026 and the contract was signed that day. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036, covering seven years with an option to extend by three years. Its lifetime value is £5,194,109.35, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. There was one bid. Evaluation used equal pass/fail assessment of quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, choice, and social value. The recorded lot criteria weighted quality at 100% and price at 0%.

This award demonstrates established demand from the ICB for sustained orthodontic services delivered to patients across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. A credible future competitor would need to provide a proven orthodontic service model, demonstrate reliable current performance and show that it can meet the commissioner’s basic selection requirements. Evidence would need to address quality and innovation, value, integration with local services, collaboration, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. The incumbent’s successful performance was central to the selection decision, so providers considering similar work would need strong evidence of outcomes, operational capacity and the ability to maintain consistent patient-facing delivery at comparable scale.
