Market Engagement for the Provision of General Dental Services in Mablethorpe

NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS Arden & GEM CSU) on behalf of NHS England - Midlands (the Commissioner) would like to invite all interested stakeholders to participate in an early market assessment questionnaire relating to the procurement of General Dental Services in Mablethorpe.

The Commissioner is seeking market input to inform decisions regarding the procurement and for developing relevant documents in accordance with those decisions. Before publishing a formal procurement opportunity, the Commissioner would like to invite interested providers/stakeholders to provide feedback to help inform their commissioning intentions going forward via a short questionnaire.

The Commissioner is aware that a provider for Mablethorpe General Dental Services has not been secured after two rounds of procurement previously. The Commissioner is keen to re-procure General Dental Services within Mablethorpe and would like to seek feedback from potential providers to assist with this. Stakeholders are therefore encouraged to diligently review the information provided relating to the proposed services below and complete the short questionnaire no later than 10:00 on 29th November 2022. Please refer to the attachment within this Contracts Finder notice for details regarding the service.

Register your interest and further information can be found via the 'Live Opportunities' list on the e-procurement system at the following link: https://health-family-contract-search.secure.force.com/?searchtype=Projects.

You can search for the opportunity by entering the following contract reference: C11443 Market Engagement for the Provision of General Dental Services in Mablethorpe.

This PIN has been advertised in accordance with the requirements of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (as amended) (the "Regulations") to the extent that the Regulations relate to services.

An expression of interest within this Market Assessment Exercise will not automatically entitle involvement in any future procurement exercise. This is purely a market assessment exercise; any subsequent procurement will be advertised separately and all organisations wanting to participate will need to respond to the procurement advertisement as and when it is published. The Commissioner may set out details for a competitive process in December 2022.

The responses received during the market assessment exercise will not be taken into account in any future evaluation process as part of the formal procurement process.
