Tender: Mobile Dental Outreach Services for Vulnerable and Exempt Patients — Hampshire & Isle of Wight

About

Hampshire and Isle of Wight ICB is seeking a supplier for delivery of dental treatment to patients who reside in a Hampshire or Isle of Wight postcode and either have a valid exemption from paying for dental treatment or experience health inequalities, including but not limited to clinically vulnerable people, care home residents, patients unable to afford care, veterans and families of armed forces personnel, asylum seekers and refugees, expectant and nursing mothers, and people who are homeless. The service should also cover cohorts who do not have a dentist (NHS or private), including children and those in need of urgent care through referral from 111 or known to the service. The service will primarily use mobile dental units, requiring several units to meet the annual clinic target and operating across several clinic sites per month; providers must have adequate mobile dental units of the required standard, a skilled workforce and the operational infrastructure to support this.
