## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has successfully completed a procurement process for a Group Income Protection brokerage service, primarily aimed at providing employee benefits to its staff. This tender falls under the insurance services industry and was valued at £400,000 GBP. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the contract period began on 12 December 2018 and will continue until 10 December 2021. The procurement was based in multiple locations throughout the UK, including Scotland, London, Northern Ireland, the North West, and Wales. The tender period concluded on 21 August 2018.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in insurance services, particularly those providing employee benefit solutions. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the process is geared towards fostering inclusivity within the procurement framework. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in group income protection and have the capacity to service a large client base, like the GMC with approximately 700 staff members, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

The GMC wishes to provide group income protection benefits to its staff as one of its employee benefits. The benefits will provide cover for the majority of staff who are currently members of the GMC Group Personal Pension plan and we have approximately half of (700 members of staff) who will be offered this benefit.
