## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has completed a procurement process for the "Education Standards Consultant" contract, which falls under the technical analysis or consultancy services category. This open procedure tender had a total value of £200,000 and was primarily focused on evaluating and reporting information related to medical education and training across the United Kingdom. The procurement process was initiated on June 1, 2021, with the contract period set to commence on July 10, 2021, and to continue until July 9, 2024. The tender period concluded on April 1, 2021, covering multiple regions, including Scotland, North West, Wales, Northern Ireland, and London.

This opportunity is particularly suited for businesses engaged in consultancy and data analysis, especially those with expertise in education standards and medical training metrics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-positioned to compete due to the contract's size and scope, allowing them to showcase their capabilities in delivering services to governmental bodies. The GMC's focus on quality assurance and policy development presents a fertile ground for innovation and expansion for businesses that can provide analytical and reporting services tailored to the medical education sector.
