The requirement is for an existing health service, covering orthodontic treatment and related specialist orthodontic provision in three geographical lots: Halifax, Huddersfield and Dewsbury. Each lot relates to orthodontic services delivered in its named area. The procurement is categorised as health services, with orthodontic services as the specific activity. The work is intended for providers able to deliver NHS specialist orthodontic care locally and work with the Relevant Authority as the commissioner. The service is for the West Yorkshire population and is arranged under the Healthcare Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Responses were to be submitted in writing in English through the Atamis electronic tendering portal, with the submission deadline set at noon on 14 October 2026. The contract period is three years, from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with no renewal or additional purchase options. There are three lots: Halifax, valued at £1,052,544 per year; Huddersfield, valued at £1,097,636 per year; and Dewsbury, valued at £1,097,636 per year. A supplier may bid for one, several or all lots, but the authority intends to award no more than two lots to any one provider. Evaluation is weighted 33% access, health inequalities and choice, 26% quality and innovation, 21% integration, collaboration and sustainability, 10% social value, and 10% financial risk. Variants are not allowed. This opportunity suits established specialist orthodontic providers with the clinical capability, workforce and operational capacity to deliver NHS orthodontic services in Halifax, Huddersfield or Dewsbury. It is particularly relevant to organisations experienced in running existing healthcare services and in improving patient access, reducing health inequalities and supporting patient choice. Bidders should be able to demonstrate quality improvement and innovation, effective integration and collaboration with NHS and local partners, sustainable service delivery, and credible management of financial risk. The evaluation also gives substantial weight to social value, so providers should be able to show how their service benefits the local community. The three-lot structure allows suppliers to target one or more areas, subject to the two-lot award limit. TUPE may apply, so bidders should assess staff-transfer and pension implications and obtain appropriate legal advice. All submissions and communications use the Atamis portal. ## Notice North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is a commissioning support service working for and on behalf of NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (the Relevant Authority) who are undertaking a competition to provide Specialist Orthodontic Services in West Yorkshire.
