Description
NHS Gloucestershire ICB entered into a rapid commissioning process to secure additional Mandatory Dental Services activity. This process sought NHS dental providers to deliver increased activity in the form of additional, recurrent Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) as a variation to their existing contract for Mandatory Dental services, in one or more geographic priority areas. Priority areas were identified based on additional activity requirements. The priority area identified in NHS Gloucestershire ICB was WB1-1 West Cheltenham. The contract to which modifications have been applied in WB1-1 is:- Coronation Dental Practice- 363782/0001 - Additional UDAs per annum; 10,000 These variations are recurrent and additional to the provider's existing General Dental Services contract, which is not time limited . A transparent, fair and proportionate process was carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.
