This tender is part of an expansion programme for a new assessment suite in the North West of England, set to be operational in mid-2019. The deadline for submitting tenders is 14th January 2019, and the contract is expected to commence on 12th March 2019, lasting until 11th March 2022. The procurement process is designated as an open procedure and falls under the category of services, specifically focusing on audio-visual equipment. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for SMEs, especially those specialising in audio-visual technology and installation services. Companies that can provide high-quality camera systems and have experience in complex installation projects would be well-suited to compete. With the necessity for a sophisticated invigilation system to enhance exam integrity within the new assessment centre, businesses in the relevant sectors should consider submitting their proposals to engage with this public procurement initiative. ## Notice The Clinical Assessment Centre (CAC) expansion programme will deliver a new 40 station assessment suite in mid-2019. As part of this programme we need to procure a new camera system to allow invigilation and quality assurance of the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board (PLAB) exam as well as the Tests of Competence that will take place at the new CAC. This system is a vital part of this programme of work and must be fitted and commissioned for the opening of the centre.The assessment centre consists of 40 rooms split into two circuits, these rooms are all 2.5 -3 metres wide and 3.5 - 4 metres in length.Viewing of the rooms will be done from an Invigilation room that is roughly three metres wide and 4 metres long. We would expect to accommodate six viewing stations in this space with a max of two people using each viewing station. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d29973a7-4a26-42ab-83a6-dc13e4bf82e0 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Dec 2018 | | Submission deadline | 14 Jan 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 12 Mar 2019 - 11 Mar 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £300,000 | | 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) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 32 - Radio, television, communication, telecommunication and related equipment ### Codes - 32321200 - Audio-visual equipment ## Release History - 3 Dec 2018 at 17:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d29973a7-4a26-42ab-83a6-dc13e4bf82e0 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/d29973a7-4a26-42ab-83a6-dc13e4bf82e0 3rd December 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=DEC156024 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.
