## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) in Manchester has engaged in a public procurement process titled "Off Site Document Storage," focusing on documentation services. The process, initiated under the legal framework of UKPGA 2023/54, is part of an open procurement method with the involvement of Offsite Archive Storage & Integrated Services (UK) Ltd as the supplier. The contract period for this service commences on 8th March 2026 and is set to last until 7th March 2029, with potential renewal based on service delivery. This process, classified under the public authority - sub-central government, involves the storage and maintenance of boxed paper records, with an emphasis on sustainability and environmentally responsible practices. The contracting stage is complete, with the documents pertaining to this tender accessible for detailed scrutiny.

This procurement offers robust business growth opportunities for companies specialising in document storage and retrieval services. Firms that can provide secure, sustainable, and efficient document management solutions are ideal candidates, particularly those able to handle large volumes and ensure timely delivery. The contract, valued at £375,000, prioritises quality, social value, and pricing criteria, making it suited for businesses capable of delivering high-standard and cost-effective services. Participation in such a tender can enhance visibility in the sector, drive innovation in archival techniques, and enable businesses to augment their portfolio with governmental projects.

## Notice

By March 2026, we will hold approx. 34,000 cubic ft or 950 cubic metres of boxed paper records indexed at file and box level. We are currently working on a reconsolidation retention and disposal project and each month we request approx. 450 items at file or box level and return approximately 150 items, there are also approx 20 new boxes per month. We currently have a requirement to destroy approximately 500 boxes of box level material each year, this will reduce over time. Storage conditions must ensure the ongoing preservation, security and accessibility of the material, while supporting sustainable and environmentally responsible practices. Although the GMC also has offices in London, Belfast, Cardiff and Edinburgh, all storage, deliveries and collections under this contract will relate solely to our Manchester Office. We either scan or courier requested material to our other offices due to low request volumes.
