## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) is inviting research services tenders for a project titled "Understanding Doctors' decision-making processes regarding migrating to the United Kingdom". This project aims to enhance the understanding of why doctors migrate or choose not to migrate to the UK. The tender, classified under research services, is open for bidding until 15th December 2023. The contract period is set to start on 29th January 2024 and end on 31st December 2024. This opportunity is suitable for SMEs and is an open procedure below the threshold.

This tender by the GMC presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in research services to contribute to understanding doctors' migration patterns. SMEs are particularly well-suited to bid for this project. It offers a chance to engage in a meaningful research project that could potentially help the healthcare industry and shape policies regarding overseas doctors joining UK medical practice.

## Notice

The aim of this research is to use quantitative methods to develop our understanding of the population of doctors joining/not joining UK medical practice from abroad and their migration journeys. This will include why doctors migrate or do not migrate to the UK, the reasons/motivations that draw overseas doctors to join UK practice and what stops/demotivates others from joining despite taking active steps to do so. The findings from this research should help the GMC and our partners to identify the areas of the global market for doctors where the UK has the greatest and least competitive advantage.
