## Summary

The General Dental Council, based in London, is currently seeking a qualified supplier for the delivery of the Overseas Registration Examination (ORE) Part 2 examinations. This tender falls under the services category and is set to conclude on 18th October 2021. The contract is valued at £12.5 million and will span from 1st April 2022 to 31st March 2027, during which the supplier is expected to ensure that candidates demonstrate their practical clinical skills effectively.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those within the education and training services sector, to expand their reach into the dental regulatory space. Companies that possess expertise in designing and administering competency examinations, especially those with experience in working alongside dental authorities, will find themselves well-placed to compete for this contract.

## Notice

The GDC is the UK-wide statutory regulator of around 115,000 members of the dental team, including dentists and dental care professionals (DCPs). The primary role of the GDC is to protect the public. The work of the GDC is governed by the Dentists Act 1984 (as amended), which establishes our duty to maintain a register of dental professionals and establishes the criteria and routes to registration. The Act requires holders of recognised overseas diplomas to demonstrate that they have the necessary knowledge and skill to be registered by the GDC. The ORE is in effect, a safety-related test of competence that provides assurance to the GDC that an individual is competent. The GDC is looking for a suitably qualified supplier to facilitate the delivery of the ORE Part 2 examination for candidates to demonstrate practical clinical skills. To deliver the ORE examinations, the supplier must be a dental authority, or a group of dental authorities as defined by the Dental Act 1984.
