## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is seeking proposals for their project titled "Governance Papers Application," which aims to enhance the navigation and accessibility of Council papers across various devices. This opportunity falls under the services industry, specifically focusing on document creation software development. The procurement is currently active, having been published on 6th November 2017, with a tender period ending on 20th November 2017. The contract is set to commence on 15th December 2017 and will last until 14th December 2021. The GMC is employing an open procurement method for this tender.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in software development and document management systems. Companies that specialise in creating accessible content management solutions and office automation software will find this project particularly relevant. Engaging in this tender can enable businesses to expand their portfolios and build long-term relationships with a key public sector client, contributing to business growth in the digital services domain.

## Notice

The key objectives of the solution are as follows: a. To match the navigation functionality of Council papers - our current process allows users to quickly and easily access and navigate Council papers, across a range of devices, including iPads and tablet devices. b. To support the preferred formats of Council members, including to print hard copy papers directly from the system, without having to create multiple versions of papers. c. To provide accessibility to papers while on the move without WiFi and 4G. d. To enable administrators to compile the Council papers bundles quickly and easily. e. To provide a more efficient, streamlined and cost effective process which can potentially be rolled out across other Boards/Committees.
