Community Dental Services in Plymouth

Location

Exeter

Description

NHS Devon Integrated Care Board (Devon ICB) are looking to award a new contract for the provision of Community Dental Services in Plymouth to the existing provider. The existing contract for the provision of Community Dental Services in Plymouth is due to expire on the 31st March 2026 and Devon ICB have proposed that a new contract should replace the existing contract at the end of its term. All requirements outlined in Regulation 6(5) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 have been met, including not breaching the considerable change threshold, and therefore direct award process C has been deemed the appropriate provider selection process. After conducting an assessment, taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria, Devon ICB is content that the existing provider is satisfying the original contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The service is anticipated to commence on the 1st April 2026 for a contract duration of 2 years until the 31st March 2028. The estimated lifetime value of the contract is £7,594,212.12 based on 24/25 prices. This notice serves as an intention to award the contract to the existing provider under Direct Award Process C of the Provider Selection Regime (PSR).
