The brief

NHS Kent and Medway and NHS Sussex Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) (the Commissioners) are seeking to commission providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver NHS Tier 2 Oral Surgery services in Kent and Medway and Sussex, in line with the specified requirements.

The procurement is divided into 9 lots across the Kent and Medway ICB and Sussex ICB areas.

Providers may bid for a maximum of 3 Lots.

Oral surgery deals with the diagnosis and management of pathology of the mouth and jaws that requires surgical intervention.

It involves the treatment of adolescents and adults, and the management of dentally anxious and medically complex patients.

Further information on the services can be found in the Oral Surgery clinical standards: https://www.england.nhs.uk/long-read/oral-surgery-clinical-standard/ The services will provide Level 2 Oral Surgery for patients, either residing in or currently under the care of a General Dental Practitioner (GDP), in Kent & Medway and Sussex.

All Mandatory Dental Services, including simple non-surgical extractions, are excluded from the scope but some services will include Sedation in accordance with the Guidance for Commissioning Sedation for Dental Services in Primary Care 2017.

The aims of the service (with Sedation) are to: • ensure that equitable, accessible, cost effective, high quality Level 2 Oral Surgery services are available to the public locally • increase the availability and accessibility of the primary care based Level 2 services to those patients who require sedation to support them to receive a minor oral surgical procedure locally • release pressures and waiting times for treatment at secondary care centres Performers will need to be accredited to provide the services to a Level 2 standard.

The accreditation will be through an accreditation panel led by the Managed Clinical Network for Oral Surgery, with the support of NHS England and the ICB.

Further information on accreditation can be found in the commissioning guide: https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/guidance-for-the-accreditation-of-performers-of-level-2-complexity-care-dec-2018.pdf Performers must follow the agreed regional accreditation process that is estimated to commence from October 2025.

The contract term is planned to commence between 1st April and 1st June 2026 and will be for a duration of 6 years with an optional extension of 3 years for lots 1 to 4, and 5 years with an optional extension of 2 years for lots 5 to 9.

The maximum total initial contract values (6 years lots 1 - 4, 5 years lots 5 - 9) for each lot are as follows: Lot 1 Kent and Medway 1 - £7,585,962 Lot 2 Kent and Medway 2 - £3,556,650 Lot 3 Kent and Medway 3 - £7,190,676 Lot 4 Kent and Medway 4 - £11,826,438 Lot 5 Sussex 1 - £3,180,977 Lot 6 Sussex 2 - £4,192,100 Lot 7 Sussex 3 - £2,719,116 Lot 8 Sussex 4 - £3,393,457 Lot 9 Sussex 5 - £1,891,728 TUPE may apply to this procurement.
