Lot 2: Provision of Dental Services in Bilborough.

The successful provider will need to demonstrate that they can deliver continuously high-quality services and will be responsive to the needs of the local populations. The providers will be assessed on an on-going basis to ensure they deliver the high-quality services required. These services must be provided by Dentists and Dental Healthcare Professionals and the provider will be expected to:
• Deliver primary care dental services which will be accessible, convenient and responsive.
• Design services around the needs of patients and carers, ensuring they are offered more choice and a greater say in their treatment.
• Have processes in place to evaluate and continually improve on patient satisfaction.
This opportunity will be open to the entire market, including the current providers. It is intended that the tender will be published on the 29th March 2016. As this tender is for existing services, the services must be fully operational by the respective contract start dates in order to ensure continuity of care for patients.
NHS England (North Midlands) are inviting interested providers to attend a Market Engagement Event which will be held on Monday 14th March 2016, 10:00-12:00 in Nottingham (venue to be confirmed post 7th March 2016).
The event will cover the following:-
• An overview of the services to be provided.
• Details of the contract type, length and particular conditions.
• An outline of the procurement process and the anticipated timeline
Places are strictly limited therefore reservations are limited to no more than 2 persons per organisation. Further information will be circulated to delegates once the registration process closes on the 7th March 2016.
An expression of interest in this market event will not automatically entitle involvement in any future procurement exercise. Any procurement conducted as a result of this event will be advertised separately and all organisations wanting to participate will need to respond to the procurement advertisement as and when it is published.
