## Summary

The General Dental Council is currently in the planning stage for a procurement titled "Video Conference Solution", focused on obtaining a video conferencing solution for its offices located in Birmingham and London.

A key date in this process is the engagement end date, set for 10 December 2021, by which interested parties are encouraged to express their interest and provide feedback on the draft specifications.
