## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has awarded a contract for the "State of Medical Education and Practice Barometer Survey" to IFF Research. The survey aims to understand doctors' experiences in the UK and inform future publications. The procurement method was an open procedure, with a contract value of £500,000. The tender period ended on 13th May 2022, and the contract spans from 13th June 2022 to 12th June 2026.

This tender by the GMC presents opportunities for research services businesses interested in healthcare sector data analysis. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) could particularly benefit from competing for this contract. The GMC's focus on tracking doctors' experiences and future intentions provides a niche market entry point for businesses specialised in research services within the healthcare industry.

## Notice

65 The GMC Barometer survey is a tracking survey that we run every year to find out how doctors' experiences of practising in the UK are changing over time. Since the first Barometer survey in 2019, SoMEP reports have drawn extensively on the findings, including insight on workload pressures, burnout, patient care, and future career intentions.We are asking bidders to tender for the 2022 and 2023 Barometer surveys, with the option for the GMC to extend this to the 2024 and 2025 surveys. Evidence from these annual surveys will underpin our SoMEP publication over the upcoming years.
