Located in Manchester, UK, the procurement is in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 28th June 2022 at 12:00. Interested suppliers must use the electronic submission method via the myTenders website, with the procurement following an open procedure. This contract spans a duration of 720 days, with a possible extension of an additional 12 months. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in verification services and medical consulting, particularly those experienced in education or healthcare certifications. Companies adept at handling data verification, compliance checks, and those with a strong understanding of medical qualifications would be well-suited to compete. As the GMC aims to ensure authenticity in medical qualifications for overseas doctors, firms that can provide reliable verification processes are encouraged to participate, potentially enhancing their market presence and client base within the healthcare sector. ## Notice The Registration Information team conducts ad hoc verification checks on doctors' qualifications and experience where there is a requirement to do so, for example where there is a doubt as to the veracity of an individual's primary medical qualification. The third party will be contracted to provide these verification services on the GMC's behalf. A successful verification means confirmation from someone in a position of authority at the issuing institution that a doctor's qualification is genuine, being gained by that individual at the awarding body in question, on the date claimed. Alternatively, it may mean confirmation from someone in a position of authority at a medical employer that the employment experience the doctor claims to have is genuine. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Registration Information team conducts ad hoc verification checks on doctors' qualifications and experience where there is a requirement to do so, for example where there is a doubt as to the veracity of an individual's primary medical qualification.
