## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by the General Medical Council (GMC), focuses on creating a preferred supplier list for recruitment agencies specialising in Information Systems (IS) roles. With a total budget of £10,000,000, this tender falls under the industry category of recruitment services and covers multiple locations across the United Kingdom, including Scotland, North West, Wales, Northern Ireland, and London. The open procedure for this tender concluded on 19 December 2019, and the awarded contract commenced on 2 March 2020, lasting until 1 March 2022.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses in the recruitment sector, particularly for those seeking to establish or expand their influence in IS recruitment. The successful suppliers, Experis UK Limited, Robert Walters, and Reed Specialist Recruitment, illustrate a preference for established, large-scale recruitment agencies. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with innovative recruitment solutions might also find opportunities to collaborate or partner in this evolving market, serving to diversify the skills and services provided to the GMC.
