## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) initiated a tender titled "State of Medical Practice Barometer Survey," aimed at assessing and monitoring medical practice in the UK. This procurement falls within the research services category and is situated across various regions, including Scotland, the North West, the South East, Northern Ireland, and London. The tender period concluded on 5 April 2019, and the contract has an active status, having been awarded to Iff Research for a total value of £79,844. The project is designed for a one-year duration, starting on 24 April 2019 and ending on 31 December 2019, and was procured through an open procedure method.

This procurement presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in research services, particularly those with expertise in the medical sector. Companies that can conduct comprehensive surveys and data analysis, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are encouraged to participate. The tender's focus on medical practice indicates potential for growth for businesses that offer services related to healthcare research, data analysis, and reporting.

## Notice

The research aims to measure and track the state of medical practice in the UK through a set of key indicators on an annual basis. This will allow us to report on changes in doctors' career intentions, experiences in the workplace, and frequency of adaptions to pressurised environments, and provide this in the context of their scope of practice. Whilst the intention is for this work to be undertaken annually, it should be noted that we are only currently tendering for the first year of this work.
