Level 2 Minor Oral Surgery contracts are due to expire on the 31st of March 2026. The current contracts commenced in 2019 and were for 5 years with an extension clause of a further 2 years that was enacted. This service was commissioned to enable patients that required dental surgery to be treated in high street practices with the required skills rather than in Secondary care settings to improve patient experience, reduce patient waiting times and to reduce costs and demands on hospital services. Two of the providers, The Essex Dental Clinic and Hutton Village where the provider has an additional Sedation contract to allow Minor Oral Surgery to be carried out under sedation. There are no concerns in regard to performance and quality of the current contract holders. There is a need for the continuation of Minor Oral Surgery services, the ICB Executive have given approval to recommission these contracts for 1 year plus 1 year extension using PSR Direct Award C. This will ensure continued MOS treatment for patients and enable us to reexamine this service when the current reconfiguration of ICB's and boundaries has taken place with minimum disruption to patients and services. The new contract will commence on 1st April 2026 and if fully extended, run to 31st March 2028. The indicative values of the contract across all 10 contracts including separate sedation contract is £1,726,251.49 exclusive of extension and £3,452,502.99 inclusive of the one year extension option. • The indicative values are calculated based on a cost price per patient treated on past activity and worked out over the next 1 + 1 year.
