Payment obligations depend on the applicable regime and contract. Consult the official documents.
Coverage: 70 active published awards; 67 bid reports (which may be per lot). Supplier values exclude multi-supplier awards, frameworks and DPS, and use GBP only. They are published award values, not payments. Price reduction compares single-lot, single-award, single-supplier GBP procedures with explicitly non-framework/non-DPS status; increases remain in the average. Unpublished data stays unknown. Awarded suppliers are winners, not all bidders.

What is being bought
The GMC’s current WAN/Internet access agreement comes to an end in January 2023. We are therefore inviting bids from suppliers who can meet the requirements. There are currently 7 sites on the WAN solution with 4 of those sites offering full resiliency and 2 Internet Access circuits in the main Data Centres in Manchester and London. The current GMC WAN adopts Ethernet technology and the strategic roadmap indicates that we do not currently intend to change this technology for the duration of this contract.
