## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC), located in Manchester, England, recently completed a procurement process titled "Understanding regulatory approaches to telemedicine." This tender falls under the research consultancy services category, with a total contract value of £39,015. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and although the tender period ended on 17 July 2017, the contract itself commenced on 31 July 2017 and concluded by 31 December 2017. The classification of this engagement indicates a specific focus on research related to healthcare regulations, both within the UK and internationally.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in research consultancy, particularly those that specialise in healthcare regulation and telemedicine. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have expertise in regulatory analysis or healthcare consultancy could find this tender particularly relevant, as it showcases the GMC's interest in understanding best practices in telemedicine, potentially opening doors for future collaborations or contracts in similar fields. Companies that excel in data analysis, policy interpretation, and healthcare services would be well-positioned to leverage such opportunities for growth in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.

## Notice

This research aims to understand how UK healthcare regulators (e.g. the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)) and regulators in overseas countries (i.e. Canada, the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand or European member states) regulate doctors, other healthcare providers (e.g. pharmacists) and healthcare services, where the services are provided remotely. That is, when the individual providing the service is in a different physical location to the patient receiving the service.
