The GDC, as the UK-wide statutory regulator of dental professionals, requires potential suppliers to assist in the administration and delivery of the OREP2. The contract value is £10,000,000 GBP, with a tender period ending on 31st March 2024 and a contract start date of 12th June 2025. This procurement falls under the category of Education and training services. This tender opportunity created by the GDC is suited for businesses involved in education and training services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate. With a contract period spanning from 2025 to 2030, potential suppliers have the chance to establish long-term partnerships with the GDC. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, offering businesses the opportunity to contribute to fulfilling the crucial role of ensuring the competence and safety of dental professionals in the UK. ## Notice This Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to give advance notice that the General Dental Council (GDC) intends to undertake a tendering exercise for the provision of an Overseas Registration Exam Part 2 contract. The GDC is the UK-wide statutory regulator of around 115,000 members of the dental team. The primary objective 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. All holders of a diploma in dentistry from outside the UK, EEA or Switzerland, must first pass the ORE's before being eligible for registration with the GDC. The ORE is a safety-related test of competence that provides assurance to the GDC that an individual is trained, skilled and competent. Following successful completion of the ORE (parts 1 and 2), registration with the GDC allows dentists to practise dentistry in the UK. The GDC is looking for a supplier or group of suppliers that can provide an effective approach to the administration and delivery of the OREP2 that will provide additional flexibility in capacity to meet peaks and troughs in the demand. For further detail on the scope of services required, please see section II.2) below and the Requirement briefing paper, which is available for download from the Delta e-Sourcing portal see section VI.3) Additional Information below for link. If you would like to express an interest in tendering for this opportunity, please complete the expression of interest form which is downloadable from the Delta e-Sourcing portal for this opportunity. The GDC reserves the right to undertake further pre-procurement activities such as early market engagement, which may include engaging with suppliers on a one to one or group bases, in writing or face to face (via MS Teams). Please Note: This PIN relates to the delivery of the Overseas Registration Exam Part 2 -Practical Clinical Skills (OREP2) only.
