The NHS England and NHS Improvement document "Securing Excellence in Commissioning NHS Dental Services" (February 2013) referenced the need for the commissioning of care pathways which would be underpinned by the nationally-defined Levels of Complexity. The purpose of this procurement is two-fold: to commission a Level 2 endodontic service in Ealing, Hounslow and Bromley which offers patients a consistent pathway in line with all the other London regions and to alleviate 18-week Referral to Treatment pressures in London secondary care (hospital) settings. Triaging arrangements for the new service will be via the London secondary care restorative providers, ensuring full consultant-led (Levels 3a / 3b) oversight of the referrals process. The Authority intends to commission these services through 2 contracts (2 Lots), Lot 1 - Ealing and Hounslow and Lot 2 - Bromley. Details of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that relate to the Level 2 endodontic service are details within the service specification. In addition to this, the NHS England and NHS Improvement (London Region) proposed Accreditation of Level 2 Performers is also detailed within the service specification. Contracts will be awarded for an initial period of three (3) years, with an optional extension for a further one (1) year. Therefore, the maximum duration of this contract, if the extension option is taken up it will be four (4) years. The contractual framework for the Level 2 endodontic service will be the national Personal Dental Services (PDS) agreement. Contract values are stated for the four years.
