Summary of the contracting process

The General Medical Council (GMC) has initiated a tender for office fit-out services in Cardiff, with designated opportunities in the construction industry. The procurement process is currently in the tender stage, allowing businesses to submit their proposals electronically by 24th April 2026. This public procurement contract is governed by legal basis UKPGA 2023/54, and comprises open competition below threshold with an overall budget allocation of £130,000. Key procurement deadlines include the enquiry period ending on 15th April 2026, and the contract is scheduled to commence on 19th May 2026, concluding by 30th September 2026, with potential extension until 31st December 2026 if needed.

This tender offers extensive growth opportunities for companies specialising in construction work, especially those adept at office fit-out services.

Suppliers with strong capabilities in quality operational proposals, given that quality accounts for 70% of the award criteria, are well-positioned to compete effectively for this contract. Additionally, companies advancing competitive pricing strategies stand to benefit, as price is weighted at 30% in the evaluation process. The engagement with GMC, a sub-central public authority, further ensures potential for future collaboration in similar projects.
