Dental Access Programme

The tendering process for Primary Dental Services under the Dental Access Programme is now underway throughout the country although the timing of the various stages differs amongst commissioning PCTs.

We have learned that some potential providers have not separately costed this in the belief that should their bid(s) be successful the additional services would be incorporated into their existing indemnity arrangements but this is not always the case.

Tender specifications usually require a £10 million aggregate limit for malpractice insurance for these services and cover must include Indemnity to Principal. It is also a requirement that a special endorsement is issued noting the PCT's interest and failure to comply with these requirements could result that there is the potential of having insufficient indemnity provision to meet the contract terms.
