The procurement, classified under research services, is aimed at enhancing the GMC's evidence base regarding differential attainment. This tender was published on 22nd October 2018 and is currently active. The tender period will close on 19th November 2018, with the contract expected to commence on 5th December 2018 and run until 31st October 2019. The research will take place across various locations, including the North West and London, England. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses, particularly SMEs with expertise in research consultancy, social research services, and medical personnel services, to participate in a meaningful project that contributes to fairness in medical education. Companies that specialise in developing interventions to address educational disparities or those with a strong background in medical and social research will find this procurement process well-suited for their services, potentially driving business growth and establishing partnerships with the GMC. ## Notice The overarching aim of this research is to further develop the GMC's evidence base with regards to differential attainment, which will help inform the future development of interventions designed to reduce observed differences in attainment. This will ultimately help ensure fairness in medical education. More specifically it is intended that the research will explore the factors associated with specialties and programmes which do not demonstrate statistical variation in attainment of UK BME trainees compared to UK White trainees. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28403a45-052a-4c2f-8c36-dd5730249c04 | | 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 | 22 Oct 2018 | | Submission deadline | 19 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 5 Dec 2018 - 31 Oct 2019 | | 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 - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services - 73200000 - Research and development consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79315000 - Social research services - 85141000 - Services provided by medical personnel ## Release History - 22 Oct 2018 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28403a45-052a-4c2f-8c36-dd5730249c04 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/28403a45-052a-4c2f-8c36-dd5730249c04 22nd October 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=OCT155695 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.
