Provision of Dental Services for BCUHB

Description

The Health Board is seeking to commission in the region of 1,250,000 of dental services on an annual basis. This could be opening a new practice in an underserved area, or additional activity in an existing practice. All qualifying bids will be considered, however, preference will be given to the award of those bids evaluated as satisfactory or better and demonstrating the provision of additional access to patients in the following priority areas: Dwyfor, Meirionnydd, Anglesey, Conwy, Betws y Coed, Flintshire, Abergele/Pensarn, Deeside, Llandudno, Rhyl. The Health Board may commission more or less service from each area depending on the quality of bids it receives. The Health Board may commission services from areas not listed in the above list if insufficient satisfactory bids are received for its priority areas. The Health Board reserves the right not to commission the full level of service outlined in the tender if it does not receive sufficient satisfactory bids within the priority areas. The contracted provider is free to offer private services but it is expected that NHS commitment will be maintained at the contracted level and that NHS provision remains the significant proportion of the contractor’s total workload.
