## Summary

The General Medical Council, a key authority in the healthcare sector, is involved in a completed procurement process titled "Encouraging registrant engagement in fitness to practise processes". This project falls under the industry category of research and development services and has been classified under various relevant CPV codes including consultancy and social research services. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 14th July 2020 and the contract commencing on 12th August 2020, lasting until 11th December 2020. The services required are intended to promote effective engagement from doctors and medical associate professionals during investigations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for consultancy firms, particularly those specialising in behavioural science, research, and development services, to enhance their market presence. Businesses with expertise in social research and development consultancy may find this contract a valuable prospect to showcase their capabilities.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to identify what, if any, lessons we can learn from behavioural science to help us design a fitness to practise process that encourages maximum and meaningful early engagement from registrants (doctors and medical associate professionals) during an investigation. Among other benefits, meaningful engagement would result in registrants providing us with evidence needed to inform decision making in a consensual disposal process.
