Description

NHS Dorset ICB is looking to continue Mandatory Dental Services with the current provider in Poole following a change in the partnership status (deceased lead partner). As the contract in the whole is not changing, NHS Dorset ICB has proposed a new contract should replace the existing contract currently in place, to reflect the new partnership arrangement. All requirements under Regulation 6(5) have been met, including not breaching the considerable change threshold, and therefore direct award process C has been deemed the appropriate provider selection process. After conducting an assessment of the incumbent provider, taking into account the key criteria and applying the basic selection criteria, NHS Dorset ICB is content that the existing provider is satisfying the original contract and will likely satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard. The service is anticipated to commence on the 1st November 2025 for a contract duration of 1 year until the 31st October 2026, with a total value of £179,788.
