Located in Manchester, UK, the GMC requires these services to maintain accurate records of medical practitioner tribunal hearings, which are documented via Microsoft Teams. The procurement focused on business services within law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing, and security, valued at £1,200,000 gross (£960,000 net). The tender process commenced in November 2025, with a submission deadline of 18th December 2025, and the contract is set to begin on 1st March 2026, ending on 28th February 2029, with an option for renewal based on service. The contract award was signed on 27th February 2026 with Accuro Transcription Solutions Ltd as the supplier. This procurement provides significant business growth opportunities for SMEs involved in transcription and related services. Accuro Transcription Solutions Ltd, an SME, was awarded the contract after competing in this open procedure, illustrating the scope for smaller enterprises to engage effectively in public sector contracts. Businesses with expertise in electronic transcription, possessing the ability to manage recordings through platforms like Microsoft Teams, and those that can comply with strict quality criteria and turnaround times, are well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities. The procurement favoured suppliers who offer high-quality service, competitive pricing, and social value, indicating the GMC’s commitment to fostering diverse and capable business ecosystems. ## Notice The MPTS/GMC is required to maintain a complete and accurate record of medical practitioner tribunal and other hearings by electronic means or otherwise. All hearings are recorded using Microsoft Teams, and, where certain criteria are met, we have a requirement to provide a transcript of proceedings. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020795-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 9 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 18 Dec 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Feb 2026 | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2026 - 28 Feb 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £960,000 | | Lots value | £960,000 | | Awards value | £960,000 | | Contracts value | £960,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL (GMC) | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M3 3AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ACCURO TRANSCRIPTION SOLUTIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 9 Mar 2026 at 11:20 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020795-2026 - 10 Feb 2026 at 16:54 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012131-2026 - 17 Nov 2025 at 14:48 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074440-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/020795-2026 9th March 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012131-2026 10th February 2026 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/074440-2025 17th November 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/Authority/NoticeBuilder/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=621369 ITT - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/Authority/NoticeBuilder/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=621370 T&Cs - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/Authority/NoticeBuilder/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=621371 ISQ - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/Authority/NoticeBuilder/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=621372 Tender guide - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/Authority/NoticeBuilder/NoticeBuilder_FileDownload.aspx?id=621373 Raising concerns ## Notice URLs - http://www.gmc-uk.org - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
