## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is currently conducting a tender for a research project titled "Drivers of international migration of doctors to and from the United Kingdom." This procurement falls under the industry category of research and development services, specifically focused on understanding the migration patterns of doctors between the UK and other countries. The tender is active and follows an open procurement method, with submissions due by 22nd November 2019. The contract period is set to commence on 13th December 2019 and conclude on 31st July 2020, with delivery addresses across regions including North West and London in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in research services, particularly those with expertise in social research and migration studies. Companies that are well-suited to compete in this process include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) capable of delivering comprehensive research solutions and consultancy services. The insights garnered from this research could also position businesses to contribute effectively to the ongoing dialogue in medical workforce planning, thereby enhancing their market presence and service offerings.

## Notice

The aim of the research is to use available evidence to a) understand the flow of doctors to and from the UK; and b) describe the migration push and pull factors. The research should explore the complex range of factors driving international migration of doctors, comparing the situation in the UK with other high-income countries. It is hoped that as well as summarising knowledge on this topic, the research will put the GMC in a stronger position to anticipate and where necessary respond to trends and factors that are impacting the migration of doctors. It is hoped that the research will have direct implications for GMC operational planning as well as contributing to the wider debate on workforce planning.
