Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The General Medical Council (GMC) has awarded a contract for the provision of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) training, specifically aimed at new employees. The contract, worth £100,000, will cover approximately 30 training sessions annually across London and Manchester. This open procurement method was initiated with the goal of enhancing continuous learning on ED&I for new starters, with workshops expected to take place between 2019 and 2022. The tender period officially ended on 5th August 2019, and the award notice was published on 15th April 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those offering specialist training and staff development solutions. Companies that focus on ED&I initiatives, along with those experienced in delivering engaging workshop formats, would be well-positioned to compete in future procurement processes. The GMC's commitment to fostering an inclusive workplace environment ensures that there will be ongoing demand for relevant training services, making this area ripe for growth among suitable providers.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion training

Notice Description

To support our ED&I Strategy we are seeking a training provider to deliver half day workshops aimed at new starters to the GMC with some follow up on-line, materials, to foster continuous learning on ED&I in their first year of working at the GMC. We want this training to move beyond awareness raising, engage staff in this area, and include a focus on personal action and accountability to ensure ongoing learning and development. This training will replace the previous half day workshop we have run for new joiners which was also delivered by an external provider (although it did not contain a focus on continuous learning). We expect that approximately 30 sessions (15 days) per year across London and Manchester sites would be required. Around 4 of these workshops will take place in London with the remainder in Manchester, which is our main base. We anticipate running two courses per day with approximately 12 delegates attending each session, although we would be open to alternative formats and group sizes.
