Description

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (NHS Arden and GEM CSU) on behalf of NHS England (Central Midlands) are inviting suitably qualified providers who are capable of delivering an 8-8 Dental service to cover the whole of Milton Keynes.
The contract will be for 25 000 Units of Dental Activity (UDAs).

The 8-8 service will provide high quality healthcare using a multi-disciplinary approach and appropriate skill mix. This model of care for Dental Services is designed to offer routine dental care as well as unscheduled care for patients not linked to a dental practice. The service will be expected to encourage patients into routine care either at the provider's site or with other local dental practices. The Dental Practice will be open from 8:00 am - 8:00 pm, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year including all Bank Holidays.

When local practices are closed the 8-8 dental practice will provide the unscheduled care service for Milton Keynes. It is expected that the practice will work closely with the A and E Department at Milton Keynes General Hospital (MKGH) other unscheduled care providers; 111; Directory of Services (DoS); local dental practices and the NHS England Local Office to ensure patients can access dental services promptly and appropriately.

The service location must be fully accessible for all members of the community, with good transport links and ample parking facilities.

As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement will be established with the successful Bidder(s) for a period of 7 years [with the Commissioner having the option to extend the Contract for up to a further 3 years].

Further information and the ITT documentation can be found at https://uk.eu-supply.com/login.asp?B=agcsu and bids must be submitted by 12:00 pm on 22.02.2019.
