## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has conducted a successful public procurement process for the "SNOW Software Asset Management Service" within the miscellaneous software package and computer systems category. This open procurement process, completed on 1 April 2020, involved an award valued at £160,000 and had a contract period starting from 1 December 2019 and running until 30 November 2021. The service is expected to support the GMC's compliance with software licence management across various delivery methods, including cloud-based solutions. The procurement encompassed multiple locations across the United Kingdom, including Scotland, North West, South East, Wales, Northern Ireland, and London.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in software asset management services, particularly those experienced in managing compliance issues related to diverse software environments, including on-premises and SaaS solutions. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, especially those with expertise in providing hosted services that can help organisations mitigate risks around software licensing. Companies with innovative solutions in the evolving landscape of technology and software delivery are well-suited to compete in this market.

## 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.
