## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has conducted a procurement process for the analysis of cases resulting in doctors being suspended or erased from the medical register, titled "Analysis of cases resulting in doctors being erased or suspended from the medical register (GMC276)". This project falls under the research and development services category and is based in the North West and South East regions of the United Kingdom. The tender period ended on 1st April 2015, with a contract awarded to Djs Research Ltd on 14th May 2015 for a total value of £45,000. The contract period commenced on 10th April 2015 and concluded on 30th June 2015, with an open procurement method applied throughout the process.

This procurement represents a significant opportunity for businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise organisations (VCSEs), to engage in research and consultancy services. Companies that specialise in qualitative and quantitative analysis, especially those focusing on healthcare and regulatory matters, would be ideally positioned to provide insights and data that the GMC sought to illuminate the common issues leading to disciplinary actions against doctors. This tender highlights the potential for innovative research solutions that can contribute to improving medical education and practice in the UK.

## Notice

The aim of this research is to produce a qualitative and quantitative analysis of cases resulting in doctors being suspended or erased from the medical register to highlight key themes, segments and commonalities, including identifying any problems that ultimately resulted in doctors being sanctioned that could potentially be predictable. The research will help us better understand the types of problems that result in serious outcomes and will provide contextual information and short vignettes that illustrate in layman's terms the seriousness of cases that lead to suspension or erasure for inclusion in our 2015 State of medical education and practice in the UK report.
