Oral Surgery (Level 2) in the East of England

NHS England (Midlands and East) are looking to commission providers for Oral Surgery (Level 2) across Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex. The services will be based on 16 geographic lots to ensure provision across the area, the lots based on Clinical Commissioning Group areas. There is also at least 4 lots for the provision of Oral Surgery (Level 2) with sedation provided across the 4 counties.

Note that we expect some lots to have more than one provider, because of the potential size of the patient base. Please refer to the PQQ documentation for further information.
