In compliance with Public Contracts Regulation 2015 and in the interests of transparency, consistency and fairness NHS England (London Region) is required to undertake a formal procurement process at the contract expiry of the existing contracts. The existing PDS orthodontic contracts in London have been extended to and expire in 2019. NHS England (London Region) has started the preliminary process of re-procuring the PDS orthodontic contracts with the expectation that new contracts will go live in April 2019. A London Orthodontic Procurement Board has been set up with five work streams; engagement, clinical, contracting, finance and procurement. Terms of Reference and work plans have been agreed for all work streams and each work stream produces a monthly report to the board. The contracting work stream is working on the service specification and lotting strategy. The procurement will be managed on a regional basis but contracts will be split into geographical Lots which will be informed by the recently completed London orthodontic needs assessments. This may mean some changes to the delivery of services locally to ensure equity of service provision. The procurement work stream has been set up with the purpose of ensuring that the procurement is run in a transparent manner that affords equal treatment to all bidders. It is expected that the details such as timeline of this project, type of procedure to be used and award process will be shared at the market event. Engagement with relevant stakeholders is an essential component of any procurement. To this end the engagement work stream has started the process of consulting widely with dental professionals, patients and other stakeholders such as the BDA, BOS, LDCs. Questionnaires have been sent out to patients and GDPs and interviews are being conducted with primary care specialists and orthodontic consultants. We would like to urge all those who are contacted to participate in this process so as to capture the views of all stakeholders. Their views are important in informing commissioning decisions.
