Official UK procurement notice
Private Medical Insurance Brokerage Services
Authority: General Medical Council (GMC) (Local council)
What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe GMC provides private medical insurance to its staff as one of its employee benefits. It is an optional benefit which approximately 1066 of our total 1600 staff have opted into. We have provided this employee benefit since 1997. Our current brokerage contract ends on 10 July 2023.
We are looking for a broker to support us in securing a private medical insurance provider who will deliver a high-quality service whilst ensuring that we get best value for money. The GMC has five office locations in the UK: London, Manchester, Cardiff, Belfast and Edinburgh, so any private medical insurer recommended must be able to deliver services throughout the UK. The broker must be able to deliver the work to tight timescales to meet our 1 October 2023 renewal date.
