## 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 requirement covers delivery of orthodontic treatment under a patient dental services contract. The Office of the West Midlands is managing the process on behalf of the Integrated Care Board. The service is intended for delivery across the relevant local patient area rather than for a general supply of dental products or equipment. This is a healthcare services opportunity for orthodontic providers able to deliver patient-facing treatment and meet the commissioner’s service, quality, access and sustainability requirements. The selected provider is Modwena Dental Ltd, an SME based in Stoke-on-Trent and the incumbent provider for the area.

The process has reached the intention-to-award and selected-provider stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The commissioner used Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition, and selected the existing provider, Modwena Dental Ltd. The contract is for seven years from 1 October 2026, with an option to extend for a further three years, running to 30 September 2036 if fully extended. Its stated lifetime value across ten years is £435,037.40, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. The contract record shows a value of £209,403.20 and was signed on 14 August 2026. Representations were due by midnight on 7 September 2026. Evaluation gave equal pass/fail importance to quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and sustainability; access, health inequalities and choice; and social value. The lot’s criteria weighted quality at 100% and price at 0%.

This procurement demonstrates established local demand for orthodontic services from NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board, delivered through a long-term patient-facing contract. A credible future supplier would need to provide orthodontic treatment reliably across the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent area, with evidence of effective current service delivery and performance. The commissioner’s assessment emphasised quality and innovation, value, integration and collaboration, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. Providers should therefore be able to demonstrate strong clinical and operational performance, integration with local healthcare arrangements, sustainable service capacity and a practical contribution to access and wider social outcomes. The selection of an incumbent SME indicates that a smaller provider can meet the required standard when it can evidence these capabilities.
