## Summary

NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board is procuring orthodontic services for patients in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, within the West Midlands. The service covers ongoing orthodontic treatment delivered under a personal dental services contract. The Office of the West Midlands is managing the process on the ICB’s behalf. The requirement is classified as orthodontic services (CPV 85131100) and is treated as a healthcare service. The selected provider is an existing local service, Mr J S Nandhra, trading from Central Ortho in Tamworth. The work is intended for patients in the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent area, rather than for general dental or unrelated healthcare provision.

This is a Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. The procurement records an intention to award to Mr J S Nandhra, with the contract recorded as active and signed on 14 August 2026. Representations were due by midnight on 7 September 2026. The contract starts on 1 October 2026 and runs for seven years to 30 September 2036, with an option to extend by three years. Its stated lifetime value is £3,350,914.50, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. There is one lot. Evaluation gave quality a 100% weighting and price 0%; the existing provider’s performance and suitability were assessed on a pass/fail basis against the PSR criteria.

This outcome indicates established NHS demand for orthodontic services delivered through a continuing local patient service, with sufficient capability demonstrated by an incumbent small or medium-sized provider. A credible future competitor would need to provide orthodontic treatment at the required local scale and show a strong record of current service delivery and performance. Evidence would need to address quality and innovation, value, integration and collaboration, service sustainability, access and patient choice, reduction of health inequalities, and social value. Providers should also be able to satisfy the basic selection requirements and present evidence against the commissioner’s key lines of enquiry. The route used here rewards proven delivery under the existing model rather than price competition.
