Summary, notice description and lot information
The NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, located in Baglan, has completed the procurement process for the provision of Intermediary Oral Medicine Services within the Swansea Bay University Health Board area. The procurement, classified under the industry category "Dental practice and related services" (CPV: 85130000), is identified by the contract reference SBU-DAP2-59232 and was initiated to replace an expiring contract. The Direct Award Process 2 was used as the procurement method, which does not require prior publication due to the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025.
This contract, valued at a nominal amount in the system, is intended to be in effect from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026, and a standstill period is marked by this notice, with representations due by 4 June 2025. This tender presents opportunities for businesses, particularly SMEs, in the dental and oral health sectors to provide valuable services within a primary care setting in the UK. The contract, awarded to Parkway Clinic Limited, suggests that experienced service providers within the locality could find significant opportunities in public health procurement, particularly those demonstrating the capacity to continue or enhance current service levels.
Given that the process falls under the Provider Selection Regime Wales, it provides a streamlined path for competent and established local providers to secure public contracts without the usual competitive tendering process, thus offering stability and potential for expansion within the health service provision domain.
The proposed service will provide Intermediary Oral Medicine Services in a Primary Care setting within Swansea Bay University Health Board footprint. The contract will deliver up to 696 patient appointments. Direct Award Process 2 has been considered the most appropriate procurement process for the purposes of this requirement as the term of an existing contract is due to expire, and the commissioner has proposed a new contract to replace that existing contract at the end of its term; the proposed contracting arrangements are not a considerable change; and the commissioner is of the view that the existing providers are satisfying the existing contract and will likely be able to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. Information regarding the estimated lifetime value of the contract and the existing contract has not been published and is withheld under regulation 23(1) due to commercial sensitivity The dates between which the services are intended to be provided : 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026 This is a Provider Selection Regime Wales (PSR Wales) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Services (Provider Selection Regime) (Wales) Regulations 2025. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015/Procurement Act 2023 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers by [04/06/2025].
