## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is currently inviting tenders for a project titled "Scanning Support" within the scanning services industry category. This procurement process is open and will remain active until 10th May 2017. The contract period is set to commence on 31st May 2017 and will extend until 30th May 2020. Interested parties are required to provide support for GMC's existing scanning systems and may need to supply loan equipment during potential disruption scenarios at their main offices located in Manchester and London.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in scanning and document management services, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that can offer innovative solutions tailored to the GMC's needs. Companies with expertise in providing reliable support services and disaster recovery solutions are well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to ensure continuity of scanning operations and administrative efficiency within the GMC's workflow system.

## Notice

The GMC currently uses 5 Kodak Scanners alongside Kofax systems for delivering a central workflow system for scanning. A pre-production environment is used for testing changes or upgrades prior to release into our production environment. Both environments are currently running Kofax Capture 10. The GMC requires support for all scanners and associated licenses. Support during a Disaster Recovery or Business Continuity scenario would also be required where the 3 Hardman Street office servers and scanners may not be available. There are alternative sites in Manchester and London which could be used to base the scanning functions. In the majority of scenarios, the GMC would envisage utilising the existing HR scanner based at our London office until the main/primary scanners and the scanning office at Hardman Street where available again. There may also be a requirement to be provided with a loan scanner with similar spec to the Ngenuity 9125 for the team to use in the interim. If in the situation, where the Manchester servers were unavailable, the scanning services would be re-routed through our London servers in the interim.
