## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is currently conducting a public procurement process for a contract titled "Strategy and policy compliance and governance review". This tender falls under the research services industry category and is being carried out in the North West and London regions of the United Kingdom. The procurement is at the active tender stage with a procurement method classified as open procedure (below threshold). The tender period is set to conclude on 20th April 2020, with the contract period expected to commence on 25th May 2020 and last until 31st October 2020.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for firms specialising in governance and compliance review services, particularly those with expertise in equality law and related standards. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are specifically encouraged to participate, making this a viable prospect for businesses keen to expand their capabilities within the public sector. Companies that can demonstrate robust governance frameworks and compliance strategies will be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract.

## Notice

We now want to consider the current status of our compliance with duties and standards beyond the Equality Act 2010 and the merits and opportunities for alignment of the equality agenda with wider developments like those mentioned above. Without an assurance of compliance with equality laws and the wider duties, we may be exposed to reputational and legal risk that falls outside of our risk appetite/tolerance, and potential legal action by stakeholders. We also need assurance that each level of the governance structure is scrutinising, challenging and providing effective oversight of ED&I (including the actual delivery of compliance).
