The requirement covers continuing orthodontic treatment under a Personal Dental Services contract, with the incumbent provider’s existing service model and performance forming the basis for the selection. The buying organisation is represented by the Office of the West Midlands. The selected provider is Mr R J Cure and Mr P Sitlu, operating from Village Dental Practice in Kinver, Stourbridge. This is a healthcare services requirement rather than a supply or construction opportunity, and is most relevant to orthodontic practices and providers able to deliver NHS orthodontic patient services in the Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent area. The process is at the intention-to-award stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using Direct Award Process C without a prior competition. Mr R J Cure and Mr P Sitlu were selected; the award is recorded as active and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The contract is planned for 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036: seven years with an option for a further three years. Its lifetime value is £1,879,567.20, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. Representations were due by midnight on 7 September 2026 through the Atamis portal. Evaluation gave equal Pass/Fail importance to quality, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, and social value; the lot records quality weighted at 100% and price at 0%. This outcome shows sustained NHS demand for orthodontic services in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent and the scale of provision expected from a local incumbent practice. A credible future supplier would need to deliver orthodontic patient care in the area, maintain a service model that performs reliably, and demonstrate that it meets the Provider Selection Regime’s basic selection requirements. Evidence would need to address quality and innovation, value, integration with other services, collaboration, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller practice rather than only by a large corporate provider. Strong current performance and comprehensive supporting evidence were central to the decision. ## Notice The Office of the West Midlands on behalf of NHS Staffordshire & Stoke-on-Trent ICB are awarding PDS contracts on a Direct Award Process C basis for the Provision of Orthodontic Services.
