Summary of the contracting process

The General Medical Council (GMC) recently completed a procurement process for Printing Services under an open procedure on 15th January 2021. This contract was aimed at securing a supplier capable of providing high-quality printing services that extend beyond the capabilities of the GMC's internal team, specifically for larger print runs over 1,000 copies and items requiring special finishes. The contract, valued at £220,000, was signed on 23rd September 2020, and the services were to be delivered in the UK. During the bidding process, a total of 28 tenders were submitted, with 25 bids from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The procurement was classified as a service under the category of printing services (CPV code: 79810000).

This completed tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the print services industry, particularly those that specialise in high-quality, large-scale printing for specialised requirements such as bespoke finishes or materials. SMEs with capabilities in producing high-profile printed materials, including items with intricate designs or high durability, would be well-positioned to compete for similar future tenders. Engaging with the GMC or similar contracting authorities can lead to further business growth opportunities in the public sector, particularly for firms adept in meeting complex print demands.

Lot 1

We are looking for a printer who can support our ongoing print needs when the print size goes above what our internal team is able to print. Typically this will include all items: - of more than 1,000 copies - requiring special colours - eg PMS - requiring special stock - eg cards that need to print at 350gsm - with pockets, die cuts or special binding - that don't fit on A3 paper - eg A2 posters, 6pp flyers - that are high profile, so the print and finishing needs to be of a very high standard eg emboss, gloss, Spot UV and the item needs to be durable and long lasting.
