## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is currently conducting a tender for Toxicology Services, categorised under toxic substances monitoring services. This procurement process is at the tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 19 August 2022. The contract is expected to commence on 10 October 2022 and will run for three years, concluding on 9 October 2025. The opportunity is available to suppliers across various locations, including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and British Overseas Territories, and will be executed through an open procurement method.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in toxicology and health assessment services, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies offering expertise in substance testing, including blood and hair analysis, as well as those that can provide comprehensive health monitoring solutions to meet GMC's requirements, would be well-positioned to compete effectively in this procurement process.

## Notice

Where there are concerns about a registrant's physical or mental health, we may require the registrant to undergo a health assessment. This may form one part of a wider investigation into a registrant's fitness to practise. At the end of an investigation, a registrant may enter into a period of medical supervision to monitor their health condition and compliance with any restrictions on their registration. Toxicology testing is required as part of the GMC's Fitness to Practise proceedings in order to establish:- if and what substances have been/are being used by the registrant (this is of particular help in health assessments)- if the registrant has complied with undertakings or conditions (which is of particular help for the purposes of medical supervision).This is mostly done using blood and hair tests at present, although nail, saliva, urine and breath tests can be carried out at the GMC's discretion.
