"description": "This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The standstill period begins on the day after the publication of this notice.
Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by 2400hrs (Midnight) on 07 September 2026. Written representations need to be sent via the Atamis e-tendering portal, Project Reference: C457033- Provision of Orthodontic Services across the West Midlands
This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
The decision makers for this process were
DAIG approved on 04th June 2026
West Midlands Joint Commissioning Group approved on 10th June 2026
Final approval received 14 August 2026 from Joint Committee
There were no conflicts of interests declared in reaching the decision to award.
The Provider had to meet all basic selection criteria and a number of key lines of enquiry (KLoEs) were mapped to the five key criteria set out within the PSR as the criteria against which the provider should be assessed. I.e.,
1. Quality and innovation
2. Value
3. Integration, collaboration, and service sustainability
4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities, and facilitating choice
5. Social value
Once the KLoEs had been agreed a project group sought evidence based on information taken from several sources to assess the extent to which the KLoEs had been met during the current contract. This evidence was collated, and a summary narrative position was produced to identify the key elements from their local perspectives, and to produce a comprehensive portfolio of evidence to support a direct award under Direct Award Process C. The criteria above were weighted with equal importance (scored on a Pass/Fail basis) and evidence documented accordingly from the provider.
The assessment against each criterion was undertaken based on the current service delivery model and performance. The provider met all the requirements of the basic selection criteria and the key criteria specified to the satisfaction of the Commissioner, and it is expected that they will satisfy the requirements of the new contract going forwards.",
