Opportunity overview

The University of Portsmouth School of Dental, Health and Care Professions (SDHCP) champions excellence and innovation in higher education learning, teaching, research and the delivery of primary care dentistry. Our undergraduate Dentists and Dental Care Professionals treat patients across two clinics of 44 treatment bays for 40 weeks of the year, as well as undertaking simulated training in the clinical simulation laboratory. The University has ambitions to further develop the school to become a Dental School taking on new Dentistry students from September 2026. As part of this development, the University of Portsmouth is currently exploring options for the potential procurement of a Dental Practice Management System (DPMS) to support clinical and educational delivery. This Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) is an exploratory exercise and does not form part of a formal procurement procedure. Participation in this PME does not create any obligation on the part of the University to initiate or proceed with a procurement process. Furthermore, a decision not to participate in this exercise will not preclude any supplier from being considered in future tendering opportunities. The primary objective is to gain a deeper understanding of the market landscape, including available solutions and their functionality, industry best practices, indicative pricing models, and innovative approaches. As part of this engagement, we would appreciate if you could share comprehensive information about your solution, including its features, capabilities and any relevant case studies or implementation examples.
