## Description

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit \(NHS Arden and GEM CSU\) on behalf of NHS England \(Central Midlands\) invited suitably qualified providers who were capable of delivering an 8-8 Dental service to cover the whole of Milton Keynes\. The contract is to provide 25 000 Units of Dental Activity \(UDAs\)\. The 8-8 service will provide high quality healthcare using a multi-disciplinary approach and appropriate skill mix\. This model of care for Dental Services is designed to offer routine dental care as well as unscheduled care for patients not linked to a dental practice\. When local practices are closed the 8-8 dental practice will provide the unscheduled care service for Milton Keynes\. It is expected that the practice will work closely with the A and E Department at Milton Keynes General Hospital \(MKGH\) other unscheduled care providers; 111; Directory of Services \(DoS\); local dental practices and the NHS England Local Office to ensure patients can access dental services promptly and appropriately\. As a result of this procurement exercise an agreement has been established with the successful Bidder for a period of 7 years \[with the Commissioner having the option to extend the Contract for up to a further 3 years\]\.
