NHS Commercial Solutions awarded a contract to Vantage Diagnostics for the provision of a Dental Electronic Referral Service for NHS England South (South East).

The service addresses the need to improve referral systems and processes for dental services across Kent, Medway, Surrey and Sussex, where a rapid review identified varied processes, inconsistent clinical triage, and variable waiting times.

The contract, valued at £1,375,000, supports the replacement of legacy referral management and administration services, including the Oral Surgery Primary Care Booking Service and the Endodontic Referral Administration Service in Kent, aligning with the NHS e-referral service vision and the Dental Assurance Framework.
