Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
The procurement process, titled "Mandatory Dental Services - Rapid Commissioning of Additional Units of Dental Activity on behalf of NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB," has completed under the NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (ICB). The industry category is Dental practice and related services, focusing specifically on enhancing mandatory dental service provision in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight region. Key locations involved are Portsmouth and Havant.
This process is at the award stage, involving modifications to existing contracts pursuant to the Provider Selection Regime (2023), to address the increased demand for dental services. The contract modifications were formalised on 30th May 2025, ensuring compliance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement utilised a limited method, acknowledging an external regulatory framework rather than the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
This tender presents substantial opportunities for small to medium enterprises within the dental services industry to grow their business. By being selected in the rapid commissioning process, businesses like Smile Care Slough 24 Ltd in Portsmouth and Magnolia House Dental Practice, Damira Dental Studios Ltd, and Smile Dental Care in Havant can scale their operations by providing additional Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) in response to increased local demands. The process was carried out transparently and aimed at sustaining and improving dental activity levels in the prioritized geographic areas, therefore benefiting dental service providers capable of adapting to recurrent service modifications and meeting NHS priorities for 2023/24.
This opportunity is particularly well-suited to those already engaged in public health services seeking to expand their contractual engagements with NHS entities.
This notice relates to the permitted modification of existing contracts under the Provider Selection Regime (2023), to enable additional access to Mandatory Dental Services (MDS) within NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB on a recurrent basis, in response to recent contract terminations and in accordance with the NHS 2023/24 priorities and operational planning guidance requirement to "Recover dental activity, improving units of dental activity (UDAs) towards pre-pandemic levels". The Commissioner considers that the modifications are permitted by Regulation 13(1)(c) of the Provider Selection Regime (2023), where the modification has been made in response to external factors beyond the control of the authority and the provider, and that the modifications do not render the contracts materially different in character. The scope of the contract has not been extended as the services provided remain materially the same.
