This initiative falls under the services category, specifically focusing on e-learning and human resources management consultancy, with the training required across locations in the North West and London, United Kingdom. The procurement process employs an open procedure and is currently in the active tender stage, with submissions closing on 7th January 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 12th February 2019 and last until 11th February 2023. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in e-learning services, training, and consultancy, particularly those with experience in mental health and learning disabilities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as this procurement process is well-suited to entities that can provide tailored training strategies and resources for large organisations. Engaging with the GMC may also facilitate further partnerships within the healthcare sector, enhancing a business’s portfolio and reputation in this critical field. ## Notice We've been working to improve our ability to identify whether a doctor has considered appropriate support for patients to make decisions, and any concerns around a patient's mental capacity. To support this work and foster an organisational awareness of mental capacity and issues that arise for patients with learning disabilities, we aim to provide: -Awareness sessions to approximately 500 staff in key roles across the GMC and develop an online training resource for ongoing use. As staff join the business or change roles they, too may require training. - A learning resource for GMC Associates. GMC Associates are an appointed group made up of medical (both qualified and trainees) and non-medical (lay) experts who partake in a number of activities across the organisation. GMC Associates are classed as independent contractors to the GMC and are not classed as employees. It is expected that the external training provider will meet with key GMC groups to understand the specific GMC context, including a high-level view of policies and processes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b67de91-7044-42d1-b70b-d4668d0ab086 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 7 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Feb 2019 - 11 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL (GMC) | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M3 3AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England), TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79414000 - Human resources management consultancy services - 80420000 - E-learning services ## Release History - 3 Dec 2018 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b67de91-7044-42d1-b70b-d4668d0ab086 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0b67de91-7044-42d1-b70b-d4668d0ab086 3rd December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC156030 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.gmc-uk.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
