## Summary

The procurement process involves the General Dental Council as the buying organization, seeking the delivery of Overseas Registration Examination (ORE), under the education and training services category. This tender was procured using a competitive dialog method under the Light Touch Regime of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, focusing on services in several regions including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom.
