## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is procuring confidential waste services for the destruction and disposal of large quantities of highly confidential waste generated by its operations. The service must comply with the GMC’s detailed information security policy manual and meet its specific requirements for confidential waste destruction. This is a waste-management and environmental services requirement, classified under CPV 90000000. Delivery is required across the United Kingdom. The procurement covers a single requirement rather than separate service packages. It will suit providers that can securely collect, handle, destroy and dispose of confidential waste in accordance with the GMC’s information-security controls and service requirements, at the scale needed by a national professional regulator.

The procurement reached tender: the GMC invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 8 September 2026 at 12:00, and the tender submission deadline was 29 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned to run from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2029, with a possible renewal based on service and a maximum end date of 30 November 2030. The estimated value is £62,500 excluding VAT, or £75,000 including VAT. There is one lot, and electronic submission is allowed. Offers will be evaluated on quality at 65%, price at 25% and social value at 10%. The opportunity is identified as suitable for SMEs.

This opportunity is suited to confidential-waste destruction providers with established systems for handling highly sensitive material securely and demonstrating compliance with detailed information-security requirements. Bidders need the operational capacity to manage large quantities of confidential waste and deliver a dependable collection, destruction and disposal service across the United Kingdom. Experience of working to formal security policies, maintaining secure chain-of-custody arrangements and providing auditable destruction processes would be directly relevant to the GMC’s stated requirements. The evaluation gives substantially greater weight to quality than price, so suppliers able to evidence robust service controls, consistent performance and appropriate social-value commitments should be well placed. The stated SME suitability also makes the requirement relevant to smaller specialist providers with sufficient national delivery capability.
