## About this tender

NHS Hampshire and Isle of Wight (HIOW) Integrated Care Board (ICB) and NHS Sussex ICB sought providers who have the capability and capacity to deliver to commission Mandatory Dental Services (MDS) on the Isle of Wight, in Bognor and Littlehampton.

The procurement was divided into Lots and providers could bid for one or more Lots from the following:

- Lot 6 B1-3: Littlehampton

A maximum of one contract was awardable in each Lot, except in the case of Lot 6B1-1, where a maximum of 2 contracts were awardable.

The aims for MDS provision are to:

- contribute to improving oral and general health;
- reduce inequalities in health and access to dental care by providing extra support to groups of vulnerable adults and children. This includes, but is not limited to, children under 5 years old, residents of care homes, other vulnerable groups and patients weighing up to 227kg (35 stones and 10.45 lbs);
- provide access to NHS dental services to ensure equity and consistency of provision;
- provide bookable appointments outside of core hours;
- deliver appropriate, efficient and cost-effective services within the service;
- provision framework of the NHS (General Dental Services/Personal Dental Services) Regulations 2005 and any subsequent revisions;
- provide high quality dental services;
- provide access within contracted hours to un-associated patients identified as having an urgent dental need via NHS 111, NHS Dental Helpline, out of hours services and self-referral;
- refer patients to other NHS services as appropriate in line with the relevant local protocols and guidance;
- establish a positive working relationship between the Commissioner and Provider to facilitate and maximise high quality service delivery;
- prioritise Looked after Children (LAC);
- develop services in line with the evolving strategic approach to primary care dental provision and align with the priorities of the NHS Long Term Plan - [longtermplan.nhs.uk](https://www.longtermplan.nhs.uk);
- promote overall health in line with Making Every Contact Count;
- keep availability of appointments up to date on nhs.uk ;
- comply with recall intervals, in line with NICE Guidelines (CG19).

The contracts will be for a term of up to 110 months. Services were due to commence from between 28th January 2026 and 29th July 2026, depending upon the mobilisation period required by Bidders to commence service following award. The date will be subject to agreement with the commissioner, further to changes to the indicative tender timetable published.

The maximum total contract values were as follows:

### MDS 6B1-1: £7,075,104

MDS 6B1-1a: £7,075,104

MDS 6B1-2: £6,743,789
