Description
NHS England is holding a Market Engagement Events for the provision of Integrated Dental Services in the Central Midlands.
The NHS Five Year Forward View sets out new ways of working so that the NHS does more to prevent ill health and use its finite resources in the most effective way. It cites examples of multi-speciality working within community settings. We have given consideration to the principles of the Five Year Forward View and its approach to ensure that health services are affordable and sustainable for the future. This is particularly important for the specialist services which could, if not commissioned properly, effect a substantial burden on secondary care.
Key components of the delivery model:
A seamless provision of specialist care by providers working collaboratively to develop working partnerships, identify areas of unmet need, opportunities for service development and facilitate integrated working.
• The provision of high quality Tier 2 Oral Surgery and services in line with the National Guide for Commissioning Oral Surgery and Oral Medicine 2015
• Dental care and treatment for patients who meet the Indication of Sedation Need acceptance criteria for sedation
• Restorative services to be determined for the duration of the pilot term
Needs assessments have been undertaken to identify existing need and projected future health needs of the population within these three areas of specialist provision.
The procurement will work in conjunction with the local Accreditation of Performers of Level 2 Complexity care or treatment for Oral Surgery and Endodontics.
The Market Engagement event will give Providers;
• An overview of Service to be provided
• Provide details of the contract type, length and particular conditions
• Explain the procurement process and the anticipated timelines
There will be two events. The first event will take place at 1.00pm to 4.00pm on 27 March 2019, Hilton Hotel, Northamptonshire, and the second event will take place from 1.00pm to 4.00pm on 2 April 2019, Best Western, Bentley Hotel, Newark Rd, South Hykeham, Lincoln LN6 9NH.
