Summary of the contracting process

The General Medical Council (GMC) has concluded a procurement process titled "M&E Services," which focuses on providing mechanical and electrical support across several UK offices. The industry category is repair and maintenance services, highlighted under the open procurement method. The procurement process has reached the award and contract stages, with BAM FM Ltd selected as the supplier. The contract, valued at £240,000 excluding VAT, commenced on 1 December 2025 and is expected to run until 30 November 2028, with the possibility of an extension until 30 November 2029 based on performance. Key dates include the contract signing on 14 November 2025. The GMC, headquartered in Manchester, operates as a sub-central public authority, with contacts available via Chris Park at gmctenders@gmc-uk.org.

This tender creates significant opportunities for firms in the repair and maintenance services sector, particularly those capable of supporting multiple office locations. The open procurement method suggests a competitive bidding environment, indicating potential opportunities for large-scale businesses like BAM FM Ltd, positioned as a supplier. Companies with expertise in mechanical and electrical services have the chance to leverage this contract to enhance their market presence and realise growth within the public sector. Although no bids from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) reached the final stage, larger firms with established capabilities in facility management services are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities provided by public authorities such as the GMC.
