Centre of Dental Excellence and Dental Access Centre - NHS Gloucestershire ICB

Descriptions

This notice is placed as a Prior Information Notice (PIN) to inform the market of NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board's (ICB) (the Commissioner's), intention to commission dental access as part of a Centre of Dental Excellence (City Campus, Gloucester) and a Dental Access Centre (Quayside, Gloucester). The Commissioner would like to understand the level of provider interest in delivering these services.

Fundamentally this opportunity seeks to increase access to NHS dentistry in a part of the county where deprivation is greatest by working in partnership to commission 2 new bespoke primary care facilities in fit for purpose environments, incorporating flexible commissioning and workforce training.

To allow potential providers to reflect on the proposed services, the Commissioner has provided early indicative information as part of this notice (located within the Atamis e-procurement portal) which includes:

1. Service specifications

2. Floor plans for each premises

3. Architecture data sheets for each premises

4. PDS contract

Please note all the above documents are in draft form and yet to be finalised.

The Commissioner welcomes your feedback on these documents via return of the market engagement questionnaire.

Details on how to access the market engagement questionnaire and early indicative information are contained within the 'VI.3. Additional information' section.

We kindly ask you to submit these by midday Thursday 17th July 2025.

This exercise is being carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioner.
