In plain English

The Cardiff and Vale University Health Board wants to fund extra NHS dental appointments across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The aim is to cut waiting times for patients waiting to be allocated a dentist through the Dental Access Portal, and to add dental services in areas where there is not enough provision. The work is expected to start in March 2027 and has no fixed end date.

What the buyer wants

• Deliver additional NHS dental treatment in areas of identified unmet need across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan • Provide this activity in line with the NHS General Dental Services Contract • Start from March 2027, under ongoing contractual arrangements with no fixed end date

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: Only providers capable of delivering additional NHS dental activity under the NHS General Dental Services Contract are suitable, so a business without NHS dental delivery capability would be ruled out, and the notice gives no value or other detail to suggest a smaller business is expected.

Always check the tender documents.
