## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is currently engaged in a completed procurement process for a research project titled "The impact of service change on doctors' training." This research falls under the CPV classification of "Research and development services and related consultancy services." The procurement method employed is an open procedure, with the main contract valued at £60,000. The project commenced on 6th August 2019 and will continue until 30th June 2020. The affected regions for service delivery include both North West and London in the United Kingdom.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research services, research consultancy, and social research, particularly those aiming to impact the medical training sector. Companies with experience in conducting evaluations and studies on service changes within healthcare settings would be well-positioned to compete. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) may find a conducive environment for participation, as this contract appears to be suitable for them.

## Notice

The proposed research aims to explore how service change can impact doctors' training. We hope that through this research we are better able to ensure that doctors' training is considered and protected within the planning and implementation of service change. To achieve this aim, the research should address the following questions: a Is doctors' training being adequately considered within service change? b What impact can service change have on doctors' training? c What are the issues that arise, if any, during service change in relation to the doctors' training? d Service change varies in the setting, scale, activities and drivers. What types of service change pose the most risk to doctors' training? ? How can the GMC pinpoint when/where this is happening? e What is best practice when implementing service change in order to protect doctors' training?
