## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is seeking suppliers for the Unified Communications Programme aimed at enhancing communication among its staff. This tender falls under the telecommunications industry category and is currently in the active procurement stage, having been published on 13th June 2017. The tender period is set to close on 12th July 2017, with the contract expected to commence on 21st August 2017 and continue until 21st August 2020. The procurement method is an open procedure, inviting a wide range of participants to submit bids.

## Notice

The General Medical Council (GMC) and Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service (MPTS) currently have a number of technologies available to its staff to communicate with. Whilst all solutions work well and have a degree of integration, users struggle to determine the most appropriate technology to use during their working day due to the number of choices available, but also understand the technologies well enough to take full advantage. There are an increased number of remote workers within the business and as a result the requirement for staff to efficiently communicate with one another is more important than ever.
