This project is the fourth iteration of our public and patient panel and will continue to lie at the heart of the GDC being able to understand and hear about the publics' experiences of, perceptions towards and views about the dental sector across the UK. The voices of the public and the insights they provide will be vital in our work to enhance our effectiveness as a regulator and ensure our approach remains transparent, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of those we regulate. \nThe GDC's public and patient panel will ensure we sustain a robust, responsive and independently facilitated approach to involving public voice to inform a wide range of GDC activity. This includes using the panel to develop our understanding of the impacts of factors that are external to the GDC on the dental sector and the public's views about access to and experience of dental care." } ], "status": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "active" }, { "releaseID": "024453-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-03-18T10:55:30Z", "releaseTag": [ "award", "contract" ], "value": "complete" } ], "items": [ { "id": "1", "additionalClassifications": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": [ { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "71317210", "description": "Health and safety consultancy services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "73200000", "description": "Research and development consultancy services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "73210000", "description": "Research consultancy services" }, { "scheme": "CPV", "id": "79315000", "description": "Social research services" } ] } ], "relatedLot": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "1" } ] } ], "value": { "amountGross": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": 360000 } ], "amount": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": 300000 } ], "currency": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "GBP" } ] }, "procurementMethod": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "open" } ], "procurementMethodDetails": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "Competitive flexible procedure" } ], "procedure": { "features": [ { "releaseID": "058074-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-09-19T12:05:07+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "tender" ], "value": "Two stage process will be used.
