## Summary

The procurement process titled "Understanding the role of the Resident Medical Officers in the independent healthcare sector" was conducted by the General Medical Council (GMC). This research-focused tender falls under the category of Research Services and has been awarded with a contract value of £30,000. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and although the tender period ended on 17 April 2020, the contract commenced on 12 May 2020 and will continue until 30 June 2021. The study targets two primary locations within the UK: the North West and London.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with experience in healthcare-related studies. It would be especially suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that can demonstrate expertise in healthcare policy analysis or clinical care support. The findings from this research are likely to enhance the understanding and operational efficiency of Resident Medical Officers, thereby indirectly benefiting businesses that provide related services or consultancy in the healthcare sector.

## Notice

The aim of this research is to help the GMC better understand the doctors who are working as Resident Medical Officers (RMOs) in the independent healthcare sector in the UK and the degree of support they are currently provided with to undertake their role. The research will ultimately help us to determine whether they require additional support and guidance from the GMC to provide good clinical care.
