Level 2 Minor Oral Surgery with and without Sedation

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Minor oral surgery involves the assessment, diagnosis, and management of conditions affecting the mouth and jaws that require surgical intervention.

In primary care, dental practitioners typically perform simple extractions, while most oral surgery occurs within general dental practices.

However, some cases are too complex for general practice yet not sufficiently complex for hospital treatment.

These cases are managed through Level 2 Minor Oral Surgery (MOS) services within primary care.

Providers will be awarded a Personal Dental Activity (PDA) contract for a term of one year plus an additional one year extension.

The contract will start on 1 April 2026 and end on 31 March 2027.

Renumeration: This is a cost and volume service.

Providers will be required to invoice the SNEE ICB Dental Team monthly for any work undertaken.

This service will also be subject to an annual uplift.
