The procurement was carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners. Domiciliary Dental care is a service to be provided to patients who are unable to attend or be transported to a Dental surgery due to their medical, mental or physical condition. The population includes both adults and children. Care homes and nursing homes provide a fixed cohort of patients. Beyond the care/nursing home sector, people are directly cared for in their own homes and within a variety of private/social services/local authority run establishments. The services are expected to deliver high quality and appropriate oral health care to patients who meet the criteria to receive domiciliary care including; a full examination and cancer screening; oral health risk assessment; treatment and oral health care education. The procurement was split into two Lots as follows with the corresponding contract values; - Lot 1 Exeter, Mid and East Devon area (£170,000.00 per annum based on 2019/2020 prices with subsequent years subject to the annual DDRB uplift) - Lot 2 Torbay area (£170,000.00 per annum based on 2019/2020 prices with subsequent years subject to the annual DDRB uplift) Bidders were able to bid for one or both Lots, however, each Lot must have been bid for separately and be viable and sustainable in its own right. The services are anticipated to commence on the 1st April 2019 for contract duration of 4 years until the 31st March 2023 and will be offered under a Personal Dental Services (PDS) Agreement. Due to the nature of the contract, service delivery cannot be solely measured by Units of Dental Activity (UDAs). Therefore contract delivery will be expected to be achieved within the following parameters: • 900 - 1300 UDAs per annum • 400 - 500 FP17s/courses of treatment per annum • 350 - 400 patients treated per annum In addition, the following factors will also be taken into account: • Mileage travelled • Oral health education provided • Patients unavailable when visited Additional information: The services are healthcare services falling within Schedule 3 to the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ("the Regulations") which are not subject to the full regime of the Regulations, but is instead governed by the "Light Touch Regime" contained within Chapter 3, Section 7 of the Regulations (Regulations 74 to 77).
