Summary of the contracting process

The General Pharmaceutical Council, located in London, has recently completed a contracting process for an IT Management Service Tool. As part of its sub-central government public authority operations, the Council required a Software as a Service (SaaS) IT Service Management Tool that adheres to ITIL principles and supports operations including incident and service request management, change and problem management, and asset management. The procurement followed a "below threshold - limited competition" method, and the award was made to TOPDESK UK Limited.
