  • Change NHS Essex Integrated Care Board has modified an existing General Dental Services (GDS) contract for the provision of primary dental services, including routine, urgent and preventative dental care, in accordance with NHS dental service requirements, to include Level 2 Endodontics and Periodontics Services for a minimum of two years, and at a maximum for the remaining duration of the contract. Level 2 (L2) Endodontic services involve the provision of advanced root canal treatments that are more complex than those typically delivered in general dental practice, but do not require referral to secondary care. These services are delivered by practitioners with enhanced skills and are intended to manage moderately complex cases within a primary care setting. Level 2 (L2) Periodontal services involve the assessment and treatment of patients with moderate to severe periodontal (gum) disease, including non-surgical periodontal therapy and ongoing disease management. These services are provided by clinicians with additional expertise to manage cases beyond the scope of routine primary dental care, reducing the need for referral to specialist services. The cumulative change in the lifetime value of the contract since it was entered into is 5.51% (less than 25%) of the lifetime value of the original contract when it was entered into in accordance with Reg 13(2)(b)(ii)). The annual value of the modification is £150,000. As such, the lifetime value of the modification is £1,500,000 (excluding VAT), calculated on the basis of the remaining 10 years of a 30-year notional contract duration for this open-ended GDS contract. A Transparency Notice is being issued as per Regulation 13 (4) for modifications made to a contract without following a new procurement process, that is attributable to a decision of the relevant authority, and the cumulative change in the lifetime value of the contract since it was entered into, is £500,000 or more., Need for modification brought about by circumstances which a diligent contracting authority/entity could not foresee: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) contract modification notice. This contract has been modified under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and Procurement Act 23 do not apply to this award. This contract has now been formally modified. It is considered by the Authority that addition of Level 2 Endodontic and Periodontal services does not render the contract materially different in character, as the contract remains a General Dental Services (GDS) contract for the provision of primary dental care. The modification extends the range of dental treatments delivered under the contract but does not alter its fundamental purpose, which continues to be the delivery of NHS dental services to the same patient population within a primary care setting. The additional services fall within the established NHS tiered dental pathway and are designed to be delivered in primary care by practitioners with enhanced skills. They represent an increase in the complexity of services provided rather than the introduction of a new or distinct service line. Endodontic and periodontal treatments are already within the scope of general dental care at a basic level, and this modification builds on that existing clinical foundation. The contract continues to be delivered under the same contractual arrangements, in the same care setting, and to the same cohort of patients, with no change to the delivery model or overall service objectives. As such, the modification constitutes an enhancement of existing services rather than a transformation of the contract’s nature or scope.
