Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire ICB - IMOS Services

The procurement process led by the Bristol, North Somerset & South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) involves the modification of an existing contract concerning Immediate Minor Oral Surgery (IMOS) services. This modification, governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, extends the service provision by six months. Services under this contract are to be carried out at the BASDAC LLP Bristol Dental Anaesthetic Clinic, located at 4 Downside Road, Bristol, UKK11, and are specifically tailored to accommodate dental emergencies such as severe pain or trauma outside normal practice hours.

This modification was recommended due to a decision by the Primary Care Operational Group and is enacted in accordance with Regulation 13(1)(d) of the PSR (2023), with no significant change in the contract’s nature. This tender extension creates opportunities for businesses that can provide specialised dental services aimed at emergencies beyond normal practice hours. Companies that are capable of delivering healthcare services swiftly and efficiently during evenings, weekends, and public holidays might find this contract particularly beneficial.

The competitive tender phase to follow the extension period signals forthcoming opportunities for new and existing suppliers in the healthcare service industry, especially those specialising in dental practices. Large-scale healthcare providers, like BASDAC LLP, who have the infrastructure and workforce to manage acute healthcare needs with expertise in dental procedures, are well-suited to capitalise on this opportunity for business growth.
