## Summary

NHS Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin Integrated Care Board is procuring orthodontic services for patients in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin, within the West Midlands. The requirement is to deliver ongoing orthodontic care under a Provider Selection Regime contract. The Office of the West Midlands is acting on behalf of the ICB. The service covers the existing local delivery model and is intended to maintain orthodontic provision for patients in the area. It is a healthcare services opportunity rather than a supply, construction or general consultancy requirement. The named provider, ARC Orthodontics Ltd, is based in Shrewsbury and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract relates to one service lot covering orthodontic services across the defined local area.

The process has reached the award stage, with ARC Orthodontics Ltd selected. The award and contract are recorded as active, and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. It starts on 1 October 2026 and runs to 30 September 2036: an initial seven-year term with an option to extend by three years. Its total lifetime value is £5,784,032.50, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. The procurement used Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, without a prior competition. One bid was recorded. Evaluation was pass/fail, with equal weighting across quality and innovation; value; integration, collaboration and sustainability; improved access and reduced inequalities; and social value. The stated award criteria gave quality 100% and price 0%.

This procurement indicates sustained local demand for a full orthodontic care service delivered to patients in Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin. A credible future competitor would need an established orthodontic delivery model, the clinical capability to provide safe and effective patient care, and evidence that services are performing reliably. The assessment favoured the existing provider’s ability to satisfy the current and proposed contract, so comparable evidence of service quality, outcomes and continuity would be important. Providers should also be able to demonstrate value through effective use of resources, collaboration with NHS commissioners and other services, and sustainable delivery. Evidence of improving access, reducing health inequalities, supporting patient choice and delivering wider social value would be central to competing for this requirement when it next returns to the market.
