## Summary

NHS South East 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. The work includes providing dental care through six named sites: Jenner Health Centre and Waldron Health Centre in Lewisham; Akerman Health Centre and West Norwood Health & Leisure Centre in Lambeth; Lister Primary Care Centre in Southwark; and a mobile unit housed at King’s College Hospital in Southwark. This is a community dental services contract (CPV 85131000), focused on paediatric and adult special care patients. The requirement is for clinical service delivery across these locations, rather than general dental-practice services without a defined patient group or referral route.

The process has reached the intention-to-award stage under the Provider Selection Regime’s Direct Award Process C; the notice says the contract has not yet been formally awarded, although the published award identifies King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust as the selected provider. The contract was signed on 28 September 2026. Its stated value is £53,939,919, described as approximate and based on annual DDRB uplifts of 4%. The term is five years from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an authority-discretion extension of a further five years, ending 31 March 2037 if exercised. The assessment weighted access, reducing health inequalities and choice at 30%, quality and innovation at 25%, value at 20%, integration and sustainability at 15%, and social value at 10%; price was not assessed.

The selected provider passed the basic selection and exclusion checks and met the required standard across all five Provider Selection Regime criteria. A credible competitor for this buyer’s future community dental requirement would therefore need to show safe, high-quality care for both paediatric and adult special care patients, with a reliable referral-based pathway across multiple community sites. Evidence of improving access, reducing health inequalities and supporting patient choice would be particularly important, alongside quality and innovation, value, integration with other services, collaboration, service sustainability and social value. Delivery would require the operational capacity to serve patients through the specified Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark locations, including a mobile unit. The outcome demonstrates a substantial, multi-year service requirement awarded through the PSR route rather than a price-led competition.

### Procurement Information

PSR Direct Award C. The provider met the basic selection criteria in accordance with Regulation 19 of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 by achieving a pass. The provider also passed the assessment of exclusions (Exclusion Grounds - Grounds for Mandatory Exclusion and Exclusion Grounds - Grounds for Discretionary Exclusion) in line with Regulation 20 of the PSR. In addition, the provider achieved the required standard against PSR's five key criteria, and the new contract does not breach the considerable change threshold for a Direct Award C agreement.
