PROVISION OF PART 2 OF THE GDC STATUTORY OVERSEAS REGISTRATION EXAMINATION

The General Dental Council (GDC) is looking to contract with a suitably qualified service provider(s) to provide services in respect of Part 2 of the statutory examination for overseas dentists.

Under the Dentists Act 1984, the GDC is required to provide a statutory examination for overseas dentists who wish to practise in the UK. In this context, overseas dentists are all non-EEA dentists, who do not hold a first qualification in dentistry from the UK. The Act also provides that the examination is to be provided by a dental authority, or a group of dental authorities, under arrangements made by the Council.

Full details may be obtained by downloading the Invitation to Tender document attached to this notice.

The closing date for receipt of completed tenders is 12 noon on 19th July 2016.

Additional information: Please note that the Dentists Act 1984 stipulates that the examinations may only be provided by a dental authority, or a group of dental authorities, under arrangements made by the General Dental Council.

The successful contractor will be required to deliver the ORE at a location(s) within the United Kingdom.
