The scope of the contract has not been extended as the services provided remain materially the same.\nThis notice has been published in line with Regulation 13(4)(c) and Schedule 12 of the Provider Selection Regime (2023).\nKent and Medway ICB entered into a rapid commissioning process to secure additional Mandatory Dental Services activity. This process sought NHS dental providers to deliver increased activity in the form of additional, recurrent Units of Dental Activity (UDAs) as a variation to their existing contract for Mandatory Dental services, in one or more geographic priority areas.\nPriority areas were identified based on additional activity requirements. The priority area identified in Kent and Medway ICB was Swale.\nA transparent, fair and proportionate process was carried out by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of the Commissioners.",
