The tender was initiated under an open procedure and the contract was signed on 1st August 2023. The tender description outlines the need for additional support in key areas such as service definition, standardisation, and process improvement. The procurement process was led by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services based in Cardiff, UK, and the contract was awarded to Ararna Limited. This tender provides an opportunity for businesses specialising in consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in healthcare, to participate and contribute to the transformation of the North Wales Community Dental Service. With a focus on service definition and standardisation, businesses offering data analysis, workshops, and process mapping services would be well-suited to compete. The tender process, launched in May 2023, has passed through the planning and tender stages, with the awarded contract valued at £150,000 GBP. Businesses seeking growth opportunities in the healthcare sector can leverage their capabilities to support this important transformation initiative. ## Notice In January 2023 190 members of the North Wales Community Dental Service came together at a Deep Dive event to review current service provision and definition alongside workforce challenges to highlight areas where transformation and change is required to align the service with the direction of WHC (2022) 022. As a result a plan of around 200 items was identified. Each of these could be classified into one of 7 workstreams Service Definition, IT, Estates and Equipment, Service Delivery and Management, Communication, Education and Training. A programme of work has been identified with a 6 month and 2-year delivery plan being worked up. Programme commenced in April 23. We are now looking for support to add additional capacity in the team to deliver projects under these workstreams. Key areas include service definition, standardisation, processes and procedures for referral and discharge of patients. We will require support for tabletop data analysis, variation analysis, standardisation, discovery, workshops, process mapping, improvement discussion, agreement and implementation of new ways of working. ### Lot Information Lot 1 In January 2023 190 members of the North Wales Community Dental Service came together at a Deep Dive event to review current service provision and definition alongside workforce challenges to highlight areas where transformation and change is required to align the service with the direction of WHC (2022) 022.
