## Summary

The public procurement process managed by the General Medical Council (GMC) was focused on extending the provision of IS contractor services through a recruitment agency. This procurement, which falls under the industry category of recruitment services, was conducted using a direct method, classified as a "Below threshold - without competition" approach. The procurement process was completed with Chroma Recruitment Limited being awarded the contract, which had a duration from 1st August 2025 to 31st October 2025. The GMC, based in Manchester, United Kingdom, acted as the buying organisation, with Lawrence Paddon serving as the contact point for this process. The contract has been signed and the current procurement stage is at the award phase, having a total contract value of £35,100 GBP gross.

This tender opens opportunities for businesses specialising in recruitment services and, particularly, those equipped to handle IT contractor roles. With the procurement process being concluded without competition, businesses functioning below the threshold can benefit from similar future opportunities by aligning closely with procurement regulations and fostering relationships with public authorities like the GMC. Such contracts offer growth potential for recruitment agencies, particularly those with substantial resources and experience in public sector contracts, as evidenced by Chroma Recruitment Limited's involvement and successful contract acquisition.
