The objectives are: ? To assess the awareness that key stakeholders have of the reports and how these differ depending on stakeholders' role and type of organisation. ? To identify what mechanisms external stakeholders find most effective for finding out about and engaging with the reports and what we can do to build on this. ? To explore how different audiences and stakeholders use the reports and their associated data resources, and how their level of use is influenced. ? To gain an appreciation of the level of cut through the reports achieve at various stages, in reaching key audiences and stakeholders, in engaging them with the content, from initial launch to longer term engagement. (NB We are not looking to evaluate media cut through, although media penetration/metrics may provide useful background context for researchers.) ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8554c77a-001f-4cdc-a962-77b952430b8d | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 21 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 27 Sep 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 22 Oct 2024 | | Contract period | 28 Oct 2024 - 31 Dec 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £60,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £59,995 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | GENERAL MEDICAL COUNCIL (GMC) | | Locality | MANCHESTER | | Post town | Manchester | | Postcode | M3 3AW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD3 Greater Manchester | | ITL 3 | TLD33 Manchester | | Local authority | Manchester | | Electoral ward | Deansgate | | Westminster constituency | Manchester Central | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | ICE CREATES | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73110000 - Research services ## Release History - 21 Feb 2025 at 17:45 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8554c77a-001f-4cdc-a962-77b952430b8d ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8554c77a-001f-4cdc-a962-77b952430b8d 21st February 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=FEB169443 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.gmc-uk.org ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
