## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has completed the procurement process for providing technical training services, with a focus on external technical training and qualifications. This procurement falls under the industry category of personnel-training services. The procurement method used was an open procedure, allowing for competitive bidding. The contract has been awarded to The Knowledge Academy, and it covers two areas: Information Systems and Accredited Project Management/LEAN Practices. The contract period is set from 8th May 2025 to 28th April 2027, with the value totalling £260,000 GBP. The GMC, located in Manchester, has mandated that the successful supplier should offer both on-site and digital learning solutions to accommodate various training needs across regions including the UK and international territories.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training services to expand their portfolios, particularly those offering diversified modes of delivery such as digital and face-to-face training.

Tailored solutions, flexibility in delivery locations, and the ability to collaborate on bespoke requests will set suppliers apart in meeting GMC's training objectives effectively.
