## Summary

The General Medical Council is conducting an open tender entitled "Encouraging registrant engagement in fitness to practise processes", aiming to enhance participant interaction during investigations involving doctors and medical associate professionals. This procurement aligns with the services category, specifically within research and development consultancy, and is based in the North West and London regions of the United Kingdom. The deadline for submissions is 14 July 2020, with the contract period set to commence on 12 August 2020 and conclude on 11 December 2020.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses engaged in research consultancy and behavioural science to contribute to developing innovative methods that foster early and meaningful registrant engagement. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly well-suited to compete for this project, as it seeks targeted insights and creative solutions to improve regulatory processes in the healthcare industry.

## Notice

The aim of this project is to identify what, if any, lessons we can learn from behavioural science to help us design a fitness to practise process that encourages maximum and meaningful early engagement from registrants (doctors and medical associate professionals) during an investigation. Among other benefits, meaningful engagement would result in registrants providing us with evidence needed to inform decision making in a consensual disposal process.
