Summary of the contracting process

The General Medical Council (GMC) has finalised the procurement process titled "Oracle & Microsoft SQL Server (26-27)" in the IT services sector. This contract involves DSP Oracle OS Professional Services and has been awarded to Database Service Provider Global Ltd. The project, classified under IT services such as consulting and software development, is set to run from 1st June 2026 to 31st May 2027. The GMC, located at 3 Hardman Street, Manchester, UK, executed the procurement directly without competition, focusing on below-threshold services, with a total contract value of £38,923.33. The stage of the procurement is complete, and the contract was signed on 19th May 2026.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in IT consulting and software services, particularly those experienced in Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server technologies. Although the procurement was completed without competition, it highlights the demand for specialised IT expertise.
