The standstill period was subsequently paused whilst the commissioner reviewed the written representation in accordance with PSR regulation 12. The commissioner formed a Representations Review Committee to consider the representation made. The Representations Review Committee consisted of individuals from the ICB including Principal Primary Care Lead, Deputy Director Partnerships, Research and Innovation and the Deputy Director Finance. At least one of these individuals was not involved in the original decision. The Representations Review Committee determined the representation did not have merit, no flaws were identified in the process followed or decision reached and recommended to continue with the contract award.\nNo conflicts of interest were declared. \nThis is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) confirmation of contract award notice. This contract has been awarded under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award. This contract has now been formally awarded using the competitive process.",

    "description": "NHS Dorset  (the Commissioner) sought providers who had the capability and capacity to deliver NHS Tier 2 Oral Surgery services in Dorset, in line with the specified requirements.\nThe procurement was divided into 6 lots, 3 in the Dorset Local Authority boundary and 3 in the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Local Authority boundary. Providers were permitted to bid for one or multiple Lots.\nOral surgery deals with the diagnosis and management of pathology of the mouth and jaws that requires surgical intervention. It involves the treatment of adolescents and adults, and the management of dentally anxious and medically complex patients. Further information on the services can be found in the Oral Surgery clinical standards:\nNHS England \u00bb Oral surgery clinical standard\nThe services will provide Level 2 Oral Surgery for patients, either residing in or currently under the care of a General Dental Practitioner (GDP), in Dorset. \nAll Mandatory Dental Services, including simple non-surgical extractions, are excluded from the scope but some services will include Sedation in accordance with the Guidance for Commissioning Sedation for Dental Services in Primary Care 2017.\nThe aims of the service (with and without Sedation) are to: \n\u2022\tensure that equitable, accessible, cost effective, high quality Minor Oral Surgery (MOS) services are available to the public locally; \n\u2022\tincrease the availability and accessibility of the primary care based MOS services to those patients who require sedation to support them to receive a minor oral surgical procedure locally; \n\u2022\trelease pressures and waiting times for treatment at secondary care centres; and \n\u2022\treduce the number of patients receiving minor oral surgical procedures under general anaesthesia. \nPerformers will need to be accredited to provide the services to a Level 2 standard. The accreditation will be through an accreditation panel led by the Managed Clinical Network for Oral Surgery, with the support of NHS England and the ICB.
