Description

North of England Commissioning Support is working for and on behalf of NHS England (North) Cumbria and the North East who wish to commission Intermediate Minor Oral Surgery Services for patients with a defined need, who are unable to be treated by a General Dental Practitioner (GDP) within primary dental care and for whom the complexity of their treatment need does not necessitate care provision in a secondary care setting.

The aim of the service will be to deliver high quality Intermediate Minor Oral Services (IMOS) through two lots:

Lot 1 Durham and Darlington, 2 delivery sites required
Lot 2 Tees, 2 delivery sites required.

Further details on lot locations can be found in Section 4.2 of the draft service specification.
A Request for Information (RFI) process is being undertaken to engage with the market in order to inform the further development of draft proposals for the future service delivery. NECS is utilising an electronic tendering portal to manage this Market Engagement and communicate with providers. There will be no hard copy documents issued to potential providers and all communication with NECS, including your submission, will be conducted via the portal hosted by PROACTIS https://www.proactisplaza.com/SupplierPortal/?CID=NECS

To obtain the RFI documents, once registered, select the "Opportunities" box, and then search for "IMOS County Durham, Darlington & Tees RFI" (Reference NHSE54). To view further information, click the button marked "show me". From this area, you will be able to view/download the documents.

Please note that it is free to register on the portal, which can be accessed at any time of day as long as you have a working internet connection.
