Represents an important milestone in ensuring the continued delivery of the examination.
The final stage of the procurement process to award the new contract for the Overseas Registration Examination (ORE) Part 1 and Part 2 has concluded, the General Dental Council (GDC) has confirmed.
The new contract will, said the regulator, represent an important milestone in ensuring the continued delivery of the examination. The GDC will now move into finalising contractual arrangements, which it anticipates will be completed by the end of the year.
The new arrangements will increase examination’s capacity, helping overseas dentists progress through the ORE and onto the register in a timely way.
The GDC said that in the coming weeks it will share further information regarding the contract award, delivery plans and future exam capacity.
