## Summary

The procurement process was conducted by the General Medical Council (GMC) for the tender titled "Exploring patient and public attitudes towards consent and decision making in health and care." Classified under research consultancy services, this project primarily serves the health and care sector. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the contract period spanning from 6th December 2017 to 31st August 2018. The tender closed on 17th November 2017, and the project was awarded to Ipsos Mori for a total value of £70,000, with delivery locations in the North West and London, United Kingdom.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the research consultancy sector, particularly those specialising in market and economic research, polling, and statistics. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to compete for future contracts within this category, especially organisations that can engage effectively with diverse groups and contribute to health-related consultations. The GMC's initiative highlights the importance of understanding public attitudes, providing potential vendors a chance to grow through involvement in critical health and care policy development.

## Notice

The aim of the research is to test principles in our draft consent guidance with groups of individuals who are unlikely to participate in the written consultation on the guidance. The project will form part of an extensive consultation and engagement exercise we are undertaking to inform the revision of the General Medical Council's (GMC) guidance for doctors, Consent.
