## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC), located in Manchester, is seeking to engage suppliers through a tender process for "Technical Training Services" within the services industry category. This procurement is classified under the CPV code for personnel-training services and includes the procurement of external technical training and qualifications. The process is at the award stage with an open procedure, ensuring transparency and fairness. The tender was divided into two lots: Information Systems (LOT A) and Accredited Project Management/LEAN Practices (LOT B), both of which have been successfully awarded to The Knowledge Academy. The significant dates have previously noted the tender's completion, with contracts having been signed in early May 2025, reflecting the finalisation of the procurement activities.

This tender creates numerous opportunities for businesses involved in training services, particularly those specialising in information systems and project management methodologies like LEAN practices. It presents a lucrative opportunity for training providers to expand their reach by becoming preferred suppliers to a prominent public sector organisation. Businesses capable of offering flexible training solutions, including digital alternatives and tailored group workshops, are well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. The provision to bid for both or individual lots further accommodates different business capacities, encouraging a wider range of companies to explore growth potential through public sector contracts.

## Notice

We are looking to establish a preferred supplier for external technical training and qualifications. To give us the flexibility we need, suppliers should ideally be able to source individual places on public courses, as well as provide tailored group solutions to be delivered onsite at our GMC offices or offsite if required. We require the successful supplier to be able to provide digital learning offerings in lieu of face to face training as and when required. Occasionally we may also need providers to work with us collaboratively on bespoke group training requests. We've split this tender into two areas or lots. The lots are: a) Information Systems - LOT A b) Accredited Project Management/LEAN Practices - LOT B; Suppliers can bid for one or both lots.
