Description
NHS Arden and GEM CSU on behalf of NHS England - Midlands & East (East) (referred to as the Commissioners) under fully delegated commissioning arrangements is looking to invite suitably qualified and experienced providers to deliver the services of Special Care Dentistry across Cambridgeshire, Peterborough, Norfolk and Suffolk .
Prior to this the Commissioners are running a market assessment to engage with the potential providers to gather information. Potential providers are requested to complete a market assessment questionnaire by 10:00am on 23rd October 2018 which is being run through the Arden & GEM CSU Bravo Procurement portal.
The Commissioners will gather feedback from all Providers which will help them inform their Commissioning intentions.
The Special Care Dental Service (SCDS) will provide a comprehensive range of activities to improve the oral health of children and adults who have a physical, sensory, intellectual mental, medical, emotional or social impairment or disability which makes routine care in general dental practice unsuitable or impractical for their needs. The SCDS will offer specialised and Specialist-led services including timely, appropriate and effective personal preventive and restorative interventions for all children and adults to whom this definition applies, resident within the population defined by the Commissioners of the Service.
