## Summary

NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board is procuring primary care community dental services for children and adults who need special care. Patients access the service by referral. This is community dental practice work, rather than general dental provision for patients without special care needs. The service covers three named locations: Grand Union Village Health Centre in Northolt, Heart of Hounslow Centre for Health in Hounslow, and Uxbridge Community Dental Service in Uxbridge. The procurement is for one service lot covering these locations. The specified service is classified as dental-practice services (CPV 85131000).

The process has reached the award stage: Whittington Health NHS Trust was selected, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026. Its stated value is £59,487,330, approximate and based on annual DDRB uplifts. The contract starts on 1 April 2027 and runs for five years, with an option for the Authority to extend for a further five years, at its discretion; the stated expiry is 31 March 2037, or 31 March 2032 without the extension. The Authority used the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process C, without a prior competition. Assessment weightings were 30% for access, health inequalities and choice; 25% for quality and innovation; 20% for value; 15% for integration, collaboration and sustainability; and 10% for social value. Price was not assessed.

For dental providers, this award demonstrates demand from NHS West and North London Integrated Care Board for sustained, referred community dental care for paediatric and adult special care patients across Northolt, Hounslow and Uxbridge. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to show it can deliver safe, high-quality care across multiple community sites and support access for patients facing health inequalities, while facilitating patient choice. The Authority’s assessment also placed weight on innovation, value, integration with other services, collaboration, service sustainability and social value. The selected provider passed the basic selection and exclusion checks and met the required standard against the five assessment criteria. This points to the importance of robust service delivery and evidence aligned to those priorities; the procurement does not establish a price-based assessment.
