The requirement covers the delivery of clinical orthodontic care under a patient service contract. The Office of the West Midlands is managing the process on the Integrated Care Board’s behalf. The selected provider is PKD Orthodontics Ltd, an SME based in Telford. This is a healthcare services opportunity rather than a supply or construction contract, and is relevant to orthodontic providers able to deliver ongoing patient services in the local area. The procurement is classified as orthodontic services under CPV code 85131100. The service is intended to continue provision by the existing provider for patients in the area. The process has reached the award stage, with PKD Orthodontics Ltd selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026. It runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2036: seven years with an option to extend by a further three years. Its lifetime value is £8,163,379.10, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. The procurement used the Provider Selection Regime and Direct Award Process C, without a prior call for competition. The assessment used equal-weighted pass/fail criteria covering quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, and social value. At lot level, quality carried 100% of the evaluation and price 0%. One bid was recorded. This outcome shows sustained local demand for orthodontic services commissioned by NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board, at a scale requiring an established service model rather than a short-term clinical intervention. A credible future competitor would need qualified orthodontic professionals, suitable premises and equipment, capacity to treat patients across the relevant local area, and the systems needed to maintain safe, reliable ongoing care. Evidence of strong current performance would be important, since the selected provider was assessed against delivery of the existing contract. Providers should also be able to demonstrate quality improvement and innovation, value for money, collaboration with commissioners and other services, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. This requirement is therefore most relevant to experienced orthodontic healthcare organisations with local delivery capability. ## Notice The Office of the West Midlands on behalf of NHS Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin ICB are awarding PDS contracts on a Direct Award Process C basis for the Provision of Orthodontic Services.
