What is being bought

Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB) is seeking to commission NHS Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) to deliver high quality dental care. The Health Board will seek to offer additional Units of Dental Activity to existing full NHS contracts, or for the development of a new dental practice, under the terms of the NHS (General Dental Services Agreement) (Wales) Regulations 2006. Providers wishing to apply to increase their current GDS contract value must therefore meet all the legal requirements of the General Dental Services (GDS) contract. In addition, you must have recent demonstrable experience of successful delivery of NHS dental services and must be able to guarantee that additional workforce capacity is available at your practice to deliver any additional contract value that may be awarded. The Health Board would also welcome applications for a new dental practice to be set up within the Swansea Bay area. If a new practice application is successful, this will be subject to the issue of a Personal Dental Contract (PDS), for an initial period of 5 years. Following this period, the Health Board will review the service provision, and if all contract activity is at an acceptable level, a General Dental Services (GDS) contract will be issued, to replace the PDS contract, in line with Regulation 21 of the Personal Dental Services Regulations (2006).

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Dental practice and related services (85130000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 8524,9431 median · 26.1 average (13,294 of 24,943 with a bid count)1.9 average (14,477 of 24,943 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Indicative price outcome

£1,620,623 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £2,490,968.

This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.

In addition, you must have recent demonstrable experience of successful delivery of NHS dental services and must be able to guarantee that additional workforce capacity is available at your practice to deliver any additional contract value that may be awarded.\nThe Health Board would also welcome applications for a new dental practice to be set up within the Swansea Bay area. If a new practice application is successful, this will be subject to the issue of a Personal Dental Contract (PDS), for an initial period of 5 years. Following this period, the Health Board will review the service provision, and if all contract activity is at an acceptable level, a General Dental Services (GDS) contract will be issued, to replace the PDS contract, in line with Regulation 21 of the Personal Dental Services Regulations (2006).",
