Summary of the contracting process

The General Medical Council (GMC) has completed a contracting process for a project titled "Understanding doctors leaving our register without ever working." This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting research and development services. The process was conducted using an open procurement method suitable for below-threshold open competition. Awarded on 25th June 2025, the contract is set to conclude by 31st December 2025. The project aims to address the increasing number of doctors who join the medical register through the Professional and Linguistic Assessments Board test but do not proceed to work in the UK. The tender was particularly geared for delivery within the United Kingdom and had significant milestones, such as an enquiry period that concluded on 21st May 2025 and a tender period ending on 5th June 2025.

This tender presents myriad opportunities for businesses specialized in market research and consultancy services, especially those with adeptness in tackling healthcare-related issues. Companies with strong capabilities in designing and executing research projects, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are encouraged to consider such tenders by sub-central public authorities. Given the open competition nature, businesses with a robust operational proposal, highly qualified staff, and the ability to insightfully understand a project brief stand a good chance of securing such contracts, thereby fostering business growth in the public health sector.
