The NHS has selected three firms to deliver a dentistry recruitment system across the UK.

The five-year contract was placed out for tender by Health Education England (HEE), with Hicom, Deloitte and Konetic selected to provide the recruitment system for training services to over 20,000 postgraduate students.

The new system is designed to reduce application and administration times, with Deloitte managing the delivery of the overall project.

The five-year contract will have the option to extend for a further two years, with the program being rolled out in stages across 2014.
