Due to the sad passing of the incumbent contract holder, NHS SY ICB are planning to use the Most Suitable Provider process to award a new contract to the remaining partner within the Whitegates Dental Practice. <br/><br/>Continuing to commission the same level of dentistry at Whitegates Dental Practice would enable the provider to maintain and improve access to dental services in Doncaster and retain the same contracted NHS activity within the constituency area and within the dental practice. It will enable continuity of dental access for the regular patients.<br/><br/>The provision of dental services and maintaining patients access to dental services is important in not only improving patients dental health but also relates to other health issues. Dentists check for oral cancers, signpost to smoking cessation, alcohol services and other health and well being services, and provide dietary advice especially weaning and diet for infants and diet for children. Additional information: Please note that the estimated total value detailed in II.1.5.1 above is an annual figure.

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
