Publisher note: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. The publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made to decision makers via the contact point contained herein by midnight on 28th September 2026. These contracts have not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR. The award decision-makers are: Essex Integrated Care Board Governing Board All individuals involved in the decision making process were required to complete conflicts of interest declarations in line with Regulation 21 of the PSR. Conflicts of interest declarations were received and reviewed for relevant officers. No actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest relevant to these contract awards were identified. Where Declaration A was submitted, this was confirmed and recorded in the project conflicts register, which has been maintained as a live document and reviewed at key stages, including prior to publication of the transparency notice. Authorised Individuals oversaw the process, ensuring compliance with PSR requirements, appropriate separation of duties, and ongoing monitoring to ensure that any new or emerging conflicts would be declared promptly and managed proportionately. In making this decision, the relevant authority placed greatest weight on integration, collaboration and sustainability (30%) and quality and safety (25%), reflecting the clinically specialised, capacity constrained nature of orthodontic services and the critical importance of continuity of care for patients undergoing long term treatment. Value (20%) and access, inequalities and choice (20%) were also significant and were assessed primarily through the lens of avoiding disruption, protecting local capacity and preventing the duplication of costs associated with provider change, given nationally fixed pricing and limited market contestability. Social value (5%) was weighted lower due to the authority’s limited leverage in this niche market and the need for a proportionate, phased approach to additional requirements. The incumbent providers were selected because they demonstrably meet all regulatory and quality requirements, are embedded within local pathways, and offer the lowest risk option for maintaining safe, effective and equitable services, with any alternative provider selection route posing unacceptable risks to continuity, patient safety and system stability.
