## Summary

NHS North East London Integrated Care Board is buying primary care community dental services for children and adults who need special care. Patients access the service by referral. The work covers community-based dental care across the Inner North East London area, including St Leonard’s Dental Practice, Barkantine Dental Clinic, Shrewbury Centre in Forest Gate and Appleby Centre in Canning Town. This is a health service procurement focused on providing dental treatment to paediatric and adult special care patients.

The process has reached the award stage: Kent Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust was selected, and the contract is active and was signed on 28 September 2026. The contract is due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an authority-controlled option to extend to 31 March 2037. Its stated total value is £76,751,911 over the potential 10-year term, based on assumed annual NHS pay uplifts. The route was Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, without a prior competition. Assessment covered quality and innovation (25%), value (20%), integration, collaboration and sustainability (15%), access, health inequalities and choice (30%), and social value (10%); price was not assessed. The provider passed selection and exclusion checks and met the required standard on all five criteria.

This award shows continuing demand from the ICB for community dental care for children and adults requiring special care, delivered through referral-based services at local clinics. A credible provider for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver safe, high-quality primary care dentistry across multiple community locations, with suitable clinical capacity for both paediatric and adult special care patients. The assessment indicates that evidence of improving access, reducing health inequalities and supporting patient choice carries particular weight, alongside quality and innovation, value, integration with partners, service sustainability and social value. Suppliers would also need to meet the PSR’s basic selection and exclusion requirements and show that their service model meets the required standards across these criteria.
