• Special Care Dental Service which provides support to patients with special needs and those who have difficulty accessing General Dental Services; and • Emergency Dental Service which provides out-of-hours dental care when a patient's clinical condition needs prompt attention.

The required software management system must include the following:

• Electronic patient medical histories & NHS Patient Record forms; • Electronic patient portal for appointment booking; • Integrated communication systems (email and SMS); • Electronic referral integration; and • Electronic PREMs and PROMs monitoring and self-check-in.

The estimated length of the contract is three (3) years with one (1) possible two (2) year extension period. Each Trust will sign a contract separately with the winning bidder.
