We will also provide details of the e-Procurement system (being used to procure these services) and how the procurement and selection process will operate. Any pre-procurement market engagement events will be open to all providers who may want to deliver NHS mandatory dental services in the future. Details on how to register your interest to attend any of the events will be shared in the respective Prior Information Notice for each phase, when published. This notice is an information gathering exercise rather than a call for competition in its own right, and therefore publication or response does not commit the commissioners or respondents to a future procurement, nor provide any process exemptions or preferential treatment to any parties expressing an interest. The commissioners will not be liable for costs incurred by any interested party in participating in this exercise. Interested parties should note that a response to this notice or it's associated Atamis project does not guarantee an automatic invitation to any subsequent formal procurement, which the commissioners will consider in due course. Any contract(s) that may arise involve joint procurement. The number of contracting authorities responsible for the procedure is 3.
