## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is currently undertaking a public procurement process for the "SNOW Software Asset Management Service." This initiative aims to enhance compliance with software licence management across various platforms, including on-premise, cloud services, and SaaS. The procurement falls under the "services" industry category and is classified as miscellaneous software packages and computer systems (CPV code: 48900000). The procurement method is open, allowing various suppliers to participate, with the tender period closing on 8th November 2019. The contract is scheduled to commence on 1st December 2019 and will last until 30th November 2021, with delivery addresses spread across locations in the United Kingdom, including Scotland, London, and Northern Ireland.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses involved in software asset management and IT services to grow and expand their client base. Companies that specialise in compliance solutions, cloud services, or software subscription management would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, demonstrated by the tender's suitability for SMEs. Engaging in this procurement could provide a significant boost to a company's reputation and market presence within the public sector.

## Notice

The strategic context of this initiative is to ensure that the GMC maintains a robust compliance position with regards to software licence management, regardless of vendor, or software delivery method, i.e. on premise, cloud services and SaaS (software as a service) subscription-based services. The GMC's evolving technology landscape is becoming more diverse and hybridised with growing consumption of cloud and SaaS subscription software and services, and the Senior Management team have authorised the procurement and implementation of a hosted SAM (Software Asset Management) service in order to reduce and mitigate any licence related risks to the organisation.
