Key stakeholders involved as suppliers include UCL Eastman Dental Hospital, The Royal College of Surgeons of England, University College London, and Queen Mary University of London Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in education and training services, specifically those with expertise in medical or dental examination services. Companies that can provide robust and high-quality examination solutions will find this tender particularly lucrative given the specialised nature of the requirements and the substantial contract value.
