## Notice

We are seeking a market research agency to conduct an annual survey with GOC registrants to help track registrants' experiences of working in clinical practice and views and perceptions of the GOC. We most recently carried out three waves of the survey in 2021 - 2023 (with one standalone survey in 2016). We expect to keep many existing questions for tracking purposes but will also explore new topics each year. The tender is for three waves of the survey over 2024-26. For more information please visit the GOC website: https://optical.org/en/about-us/get-involved/tenders/
