This tender falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on research and development services and related consultancy services. The procurement method is an open procedure, and the tender period concludes on 12 July 2019. The deliverables are expected to begin on 6 August 2019 and will run until 30 June 2020. The research will take place across various locations, including the North West and London regions of the United Kingdom. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialised in research and consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in social, economic, and market research. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, given the GMC's openness to engaging such firms. Competitors should have a strong background in evaluating impacts of service changes on educational outcomes, making this tender well-suited for organisations that can provide thorough analytic insights and best practice recommendations in the healthcare training sector. ## Notice The proposed research aims to explore how service change can impact doctors' training. We hope that through this research we are better able to ensure that doctors' training is considered and protected within the planning and implementation of service change. To achieve this aim, the research should address the following questions: a Is doctors' training being adequately considered within service change? b What impact can service change have on doctors' training? c What are the issues that arise, if any, during service change in relation to the doctors' training? d Service change varies in the setting, scale, activities and drivers. What types of service change pose the most risk to doctors' training? ? How can the GMC pinpoint when/where this is happening? e What is best practice when implementing service change in order to protect doctors' training? ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dd7fed1-3227-4657-9799-63bdf3794b01 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 17 Jun 2019 | | Submission deadline | 12 Jul 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Aug 2019 - 30 Jun 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL (GMC) | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M3 3AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | TLD North West (England), TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79310000 - Market research services - 79311400 - Economic research services - 79315000 - Social research services ## Release History - 17 Jun 2019 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dd7fed1-3227-4657-9799-63bdf3794b01 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/4dd7fed1-3227-4657-9799-63bdf3794b01 17th June 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN157465 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.gmc-uk.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
