description
Kent and Medway Integrated Care Board (ICB), Sussex ICB, and Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB are seeking to commission Mandatory Dental Services (MDS) in the Kent, Sussex and Hampshire and Isle of Wight area. The Commissioner will be contracting for the services using the Standard clauses for a Personal Dental Services agreement.
The contract term will be for a term of up to 119 months, and is due to commence from 25 April 2023. The Commissioner has a maximum budget of £6,147,822 per annum for all Lots.
The procurement is split into a number of lots so as to provide maximum flexibility to both the Commissioner and Bidders, and interested parties may bid for one or two lots per County. The Commissioners seek tender responses from providers who have the capability and capacity to undertake such a contract. This procurement is being carried out by NHS South, Central & West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
The aims for MDS provision are to:
| • | contribute to improving oral and general health; |
| • | reduce inequalities in health and access to dental care by providing extra support to groups of vulnerable adults and children. This includes, but is not limited to, children under 5 years old, residents of care homes, patients weighing up to 300kg (47 stones) and other vulnerable groups; |
| • | provide access to NHS dental services to ensure equity and consistency of provision; |
| • | provide bookable appointments outside of core hours; |
| • | deliver appropriate, efficient and cost-effective services within the service provision framework of the NHS (General Dental Services/Personal Dental Services) Regulations 2005 and any subsequent revisions; |
| • | provide high quality dental services; |
| • | provide access within contracted hours to unassociated patients identified as having an urgent dental need via NHS 111, NHS Dental Helpline, out of hours services and self-referral; |
| • | refer patients to other NHS services as appropriate in line with the relevant local protocols and guidance; |
| • | establish a positive working relationship between the Commissioner and Provider to facilitate and maximise high quality service delivery; |
| • | develop services in line with the evolving strategic approach to primary care dental provision and align with the priorities of the NHS Long Term Plan - www.longtermplan.nhs.uk; |
| • | promote overall health in line with Making Every Contact Count. |
