## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) conducted a public procurement process for a project involving the installation of data cabling, specifically Brand Rex CAT6 cabling, across their offices in Manchester and London, as well as repairs to existing infrastructure. The tender, labelled MT214607 and classified under the CPV code for computer cabling installation, had a total contract value of £250,000. The procurement method was an open procedure, with the tender phase concluding on 3rd August 2018. The awarded contract period spans from 1st September 2018 to 31st August 2021.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses, particularly those that specialise in data and telecommunications services or cabling installation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete, given the GMC's encouragement of SME participation. Companies that can demonstrate proficiency in managing large-scale cabling projects and possess the necessary technical capabilities will find potential for growth in this area, particularly in the regions of Scotland, North West England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and London.

## Notice

The GMC have a requirement for a data cabling supplier that can install new Brand Rex CAT6 data cabling from patch panels in our in-house data centres to our main office floors, and to repair damage to existing cables. We have an in-house data centre in our offices in Manchester at 3 Hardman St and St James's Buildings, and in our London office on 350 Euston Rd. We have much smaller data centres in our devolved offices, each housing one cabinet.
