The requirement covers dental assessment of suitability, followed by supplying, fitting and monitoring the splints. This is a healthcare service, with delivery in Northumberland. The procurement relates specifically to patient treatment and ongoing clinical monitoring rather than general dental services or the supply of dental equipment alone. The buyer is Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, a regional NHS healthcare provider. The requirement was arranged as a single service package, covering the full patient pathway from suitability assessment through fitting and subsequent monitoring of the MAS device. The procurement has reached its award stage, with Dovetail North East Ltd selected as supplier and the contract recorded as active. The contract value is £136,023 including the stated currency of GBP, and it was signed on 15 September 2026. The buyer used a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, under the Provider Selection Regime for healthcare services, with price as the stated award criterion. The proposed contract period is 24 months, with two optional 12-month extensions. One bid was recorded. The procurement was structured as one lot. The published lot record is marked cancelled, but the associated award and contract records show an active award and signed contract to Dovetail North East Ltd. This procurement indicates demand from Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust for an end-to-end MAS dental service rather than a standalone product. A credible future competitor would need to assess patients’ suitability for mandibular advancement splints, supply and fit the devices, and provide reliable clinical monitoring throughout treatment. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME and was the existing provider, with the buyer stating that its performance satisfied the original contract and was likely to meet the proposed requirement to a sufficient standard. Relevant capability therefore includes specialist dental assessment, practical experience with MAS devices, fitting and follow-up arrangements, and the capacity to deliver a consistent patient service across Northumberland. ## Notice Provision of patient dental assessments of suitability for Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS).
