## Summary

NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board is procuring orthodontic services for patients in the Black Country, delivered through an existing orthodontic provider. The requirement covers the continuing provision of orthodontic treatment under a patient-facing healthcare service contract. The Office of the West Midlands managed the process on the ICB’s behalf. The service is classified as orthodontic services (CPV 85131100) and falls within healthcare services rather than goods or construction. Delivery is in the West Midlands, with the named provider based in Wolverhampton. The requirement is for a single service scope rather than a package of separate lots, although the procurement record identifies one lot covering the full orthodontic service.

The procurement has reached the award stage. NHS Black Country Integrated Care Board selected Mrs E Roberts Parkside Dental Practice through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited procedure without a prior call for competition. 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. The stated lifetime value is £2,953,595.66, subject to 2026/27 DDRB. Assessment used equal-weighted pass/fail consideration of quality and innovation, value, integration and sustainability, access and health inequalities, and social value. The lot’s stated award weighting was 100% quality and 0% price. One bid was recorded.

This award shows a sustained local requirement for orthodontic patient services delivered by an established provider, and the scale of a long-term NHS community contract. A credible future competitor would need to demonstrate reliable orthodontic clinical delivery, continuity of patient care and performance against an existing service model. The assessment emphasised quality and innovation, value, integration, collaboration, service sustainability, improved access, reduced health inequalities, patient choice and social value. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide evidence across all five areas, supported by service performance information and a clear account of how delivery will remain sustainable. The successful supplier was an SME dental practice, indicating that a focused provider with suitable clinical capability and local operating capacity can meet the requirement.
