Evaluation of the Yorkshire and Humber Access and Prevention Programme

The procurement contact named on the official notice.

Humber and North Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (HNYICB) requires a Supplier to undertake an independent evaluation of the Yorkshire and Humber Access and Prevention Programme and the flexible commissioning methods utilised within the Programme.

The programme covers the geographies of Humber and North Yorkshire ICB, West Yorkshire ICB and South Yorkshire ICB.

There are currently 110 dental practices in the scheme.

The Evaluation aims to assess the effectiveness, impact, efficiency, and value for money, with a view to informing future commissioning and service improvement.

The evaluation will provide an independent, robust evaluation of the Yorkshire and Humber Access and Prevention Programme (YHAPP) that: • Measures the impact on dental and general health outcomes; • Assesses improvements in access to dental services for underserved populations; • Evaluates the implementation, acceptability, and operational success of both programme components; • Delivers actionable recommendations for future programme refinement and potential wider rollout; and • Includes a health economic analysis to assess cost-effectiveness and return on investment.
