Supplying NHS City and Hackney

NHS City and Hackney invites expressions of Interest from all suitably qualified and experienced dental healthcare providers (including existing practitioners, social enterprise / third sector organisations and other providers) to provide a full range of NHS dental care. The services being contracted are to be provided from a site within the City of London.

It is the primary care trust's (PCT’s) aim through this procurement, to improve local oral health and improve access.  It is intended the new provider will develop a comprehensive service which is accessible to all local people and which promotes dental and oral health as integral to health and well-being.  The PCT will require the provider to work with the local community to create awareness of, and encourage take-up of, dental services and to establish an NHS dental service of which local residents will be justifiably proud.

The primary dental care services procured through the Procurement must be affordable and provide value for money.

Contract term

The contract for the term of the service will be under a PDS+ agreement. The provider will be expected to identify, fit out and equip suitable premises, within an area specified, for occupation and operation by January 2012.   Likely contract term will be five years with an option to extend by five years (to a maximum of 10 years)

Expression of interest

Interested organisations should express their interest by an email to
cit-pct.citydentalprocurement@nhs.net by no later than 5pm on 8 July 2011. 

The e-mail should include the tender reference number and contact details such as the name of the person, job title, telephone numbers (office and mobile) and the web address (if any). Expressions of interests received after the deadline may not be considered.  We anticipate e-mailing a pre-qualification questionnaire (PQQ) document and additional supporting information after the closing date for EOIs.
