What is being bought

NHS England has published this Prior Information Notice in relation to the NHS Mobile and Alternative Dental Services.<br/><br/>The Covid-19 pandemic impacted provisions of dental services and although recent data indicates some improvement, there remains more work to be done to improve provisions across England.<br/><br/>In February 2024, NHS England and the Department for Health and Social Care (DHSC) launched a joint Dental Recovery Plan to provide more than 1.5 million additional NHS dentistry treatments or 2.5 million NHS dentistry appointments. Included in the plan is the commitment to deploy mobile dental vans to contribute to a proportion of these targets, as well as ‘offering appointments to patients in targeted rural and coastal communities, starting later this year in the most under-served areas.’<br/><br/>NHS England is therefore keen to understand the range of services available to achieve this and to realise the ambitions of the Dental Recovery Plan.<br/><br/>We are aware of the limited availability of vans and workforce to deliver mobile dental services and so alongside the provision of vans and/or workforce, we are exploring other options such as (but not limited to), the provision of non-van solutions, including the use of local facilities for pop-up services. We are keen to think creatively on how we can best support this target population.<br/><br/>Further information regarding this project can be found on Atamis e-sourcing portal https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Dental-practice services (85131000); 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 8525,8641 median · 25.3 average (13,950 of 25,864 with a bid count)1.9 average (15,172 of 25,864 with named award suppliers)10 comparable price pairs
Same buyer391 median · 4.2 average (27 of 39 with a bid count)1.4 average (27 of 39 with named award suppliers)Not published

“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.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
