North of England Commissioning Support (NECS) is a care system support organisation hosted by NHS England and is working for and on behalf of NHS Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (the Contracting Authority), who are conducting a Request for Information (RFI) exercise in order to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market to deliver Primary Care General Dental Services (GDS) in the following areas.
Lot 1 - Bridlington

Lot 3 - Hull
The aim of the GDS is to:
· Improve oral health and to reduce inequalities in health and well-being.
· Improve access to NHS dental services and to improve the experience of all patients.
· Develop integrated and consistent services.
· Ensure equitable and timely access to primary, urgent, and elective care.
The provider must work in partnership with the Contracting Authority to support communication and engagement with patients to enable continuous service and pathway improvements, which may involve consultation with the local patient population in order to collate patient views which can shape services and monitor effectiveness.
The contract will be offered under the terms of the NHS Personal Dental Service (PDS) Agreement Regulations 2005 effective from 1 April 2006 for an initial period of 5-years with the option to extend the contract by 2-years at the discretion of the Contracting Authority and subject to satisfactory financial and contractual performance. The clinical services to be provided are those deemed mandatory services, the PDS Regulations identify mandatory services and as a minimum, the provider must meet the requirements of the NHS PDS Agreement Regulations 2005 in all aspects relating to the provision of mandatory services. In addition, this contract also includes the additional services as outlined in the draft specification.
It is important to note that this PIN/RFI is not a call for competition and as such potential providers will need to express an interest in any future tender opportunity once a contract notice is published on Find a Tender Service and Contracts Finder.
It should be noted that this PIN/RFI invites individuals and organisations to express an interest in this RFI exercise only, and it is NOT a pre-qualification questionnaire, and is NOT part of any pre-qualification or selection process. This PIN/RFI is intended as an awareness, communication, and information gathering exercise. An expression of interest is no indication of a commitment to participate in the RFI process nor does it infer any preferential or special status on those individuals and organisations who express an interest in the RFI exercise.
