Summary of the contracting process

The General Medical Council (GMC) is seeking to enhance its communication technologies through the Unified Communications Programme. This procurement process, classified under the telecommunications system industry, is in the award stage, having successfully concluded its open tender with a contract value of £500,000. The contract period is set from 26 October 2017 to 25 October 2020, with delivery addresses located in both the North West and London, United Kingdom. Awarded on 13 December 2017, this initiative aims to streamline communication for staff, particularly important given the increasing number of remote workers within the organisation.

With the potential for growth in the telecommunications sector, companies well-versed in integrated communication technologies will find this an ideal environment to showcase their offerings. Firms interested in providing efficient and user-friendly communication solutions will be particularly well-suited to compete in this field.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Unified Communications Programme

Notice Description

The General Medical Council (GMC) and Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) currently have a number of technologies available to its staff to communicate with. Whilst all solutions work well and have a degree of integration, users struggle to determine the most appropriate technology to use during their working day due to the number of choices available, but also understand the technologies well enough to take full advantage. There are an increased number of remote workers within the business and as a result the requirement for staff to efficiently communicate with one another is more important than ever.
