## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has recently completed a tender for the research titled "Drivers of international migration of doctors to and from the United Kingdom". This contract, valued at £50,000, falls within the industry category of research and development services. The procurement process, which followed an open procedure, was awarded to Plymouth University on 6th December 2019. The contract period commenced on 13th December 2019 and will conclude on 31st July 2020. Relevant regions for this project include North West England and London.

This opportunity presents a valuable avenue for businesses involved in research services, particularly those with expertise in social research and development consultancy. Companies that can demonstrate their ability to provide comprehensive analyses of migration trends, especially in the healthcare sector, would be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts. The findings of this research are likely to have significant implications for workforce planning, opening the door for businesses that specialise in analysing and addressing workforce trends in the medical field.

## 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.
