Domiciliary Dental Care to NHS Devon ICB - 1759860009

Description

NHS Devon ICB (The Commissioner) is seeking to recommission domiciliary dental services in Devon. The term of the existing Domiciliary contract is due to expire on 30 June 2024 and NHS Devon ICB has proposed that a new contract should replace that existing contract at the end of its term. All requirements outlined in Regulation 6(5) of the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 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 Devon 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 1 July 2024 for a contract duration of 1 year and 9 months until the 31 March 2026, with a total value of £396,477.29.
