## Summary

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board intends to procure NHS General Dental Services in North Denbighshire, North Wales. The work is classified as dental practice and related services and is intended to increase NHS dental capacity and improve patient access in a priority area. Services will be delivered in Denbighshire under the National Health Service (General Dental Services Contracts and Patient Charges) (Wales) Regulations 2026. The requirement covers general dental services for local communities across the area. The Health Board is the buyer and is responsible for commissioning the service. This is a healthcare services requirement for dental practices, providers of NHS general dental care and organisations able to deliver additional local dental capacity.

The process is at the planning stage and does not carry an invitation to tender. The Health Board has completed an expression-of-interest exercise and invited shortlisted providers to a structured Most Suitable Provider assessment. The proposed award remains subject to the Health Board’s governance processes and Board approval. The expected procurement value is £1,240,000, with one planned lot described as having an annual contract value of £310,000. The buyer expected the next sequential notice on 10 September 2026. The publication date is 11 September 2026, and representations on the proposed award were due by 25 September 2026. The process uses the Most Suitable Provider Process under the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025.

This will suit dental practices and NHS dental service providers with the clinical, operational and local capacity to deliver general dental services in North Denbighshire. The buyer has specifically been assessing provider capacity, capability and interest in serving this locality, so suppliers able to establish or expand provision in Denbighshire are the natural fit. Providers should prepare to demonstrate how they can deliver NHS general dental care under the Welsh contractual and regulatory framework, support improved access for patients and operate services for the local community. The earlier expression-of-interest exercise has already informed a shortlist and Most Suitable Provider assessment, so this record is primarily relevant to suppliers preparing for future NHS dental commissioning rather than seeking to bid now.
