This procurement process, classified under social research services, is currently in the tender stage, with submissions due by 2nd March 2022. The estimated value of the contract is approximately £144,000 over two years. Interested parties can obtain more information and the Invitation to Tender document through the Delta e-tendering portal. This contract presents significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the research sector, particularly those with expertise in public engagement and dental regulation. By facilitating public and patient involvement in research and policy work, businesses that can offer independent facilitation and consultation services could find a competitive edge. The GDC aims to ensure that public and patient perspectives are woven into their operations, making this an attractive opportunity for companies focused on social research. ## Notice The GDC is looking to secure an independent research organisation, to ensure we can involve and engage public and patients in a range of co-productive research and policy work. The GDC is seeking to procure a call off contract with an independent research organisation, to ensure we can involve and engage public and patients in a range of co-productive research and policy work. The overarching aims for the panel are: -to provide access to a group or groups of patients and the public, some of whose knowledge and understanding of GDC and dental regulation develops over time; -to ensure we reflect and harness the input of public and patients in as much of our work as is possible; and -to provide a flexible, responsive and cost-effective method for GDC to engage patient and public in our work. There are three main objectives for public and patient engagement in our work: -to provide independently facilitated evidence about public views and perceptions of topical or current issues in dental regulation; -to provide independently facilitated public and patient views on their experience of the quality of dental services; -to obtain independently facilitated public and patient feedback about regulatory research and policy initiatives or communications being considered, developed or undertaken by the GDC. The call off contract will be for a period of two-years, commencing in April 2022. We anticipate the value of the Contract will be circa PS72,000 per year (PS144,000 over the 2-year contract including any expenses and, if applicable, VAT). For further information on the GDC please see our website www.gdc-uk.org and for further information on the procurement and services required please download the Invitation to Tender document from the Delta e-tendering portal, the access code is 9T88G96V44.
