## Summary

The General Medical Council (GMC) has initiated a procurement process for the "State of Medical Education and Practice Barometer Survey", classified under the CPV code 73110000 for research services. The procurement falls under the services category and pertains to ongoing GMC work to measure and track the state of medical practice in the UK. It encompasses surveys for the years 2022, 2023, with options extending to 2024 and 2025. The contract period runs from 13th June 2022 to 12th June 2026. Recently, there has been a value increase due to higher-than-expected inflation and additional analytical work requirements. The procurement has passed the tender stage and is in the contract update phase, as of 26 September 2025. The procurement was initiated through an open procedure, and the General Medical Council, based in Manchester, United Kingdom, acts as the contracting authority.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research services, specifically those experienced in conducting surveys and analysis that track medical practices and conditions. Companies like IFF Research, designated as the awarded supplier, are examples of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that may be well-suited for this type of contract. Given the survey's focus on tracking the state of medical practice in the UK and exploring changes in doctors' experiences, businesses specialising in healthcare consultancy and data analysis can find potential for growth. This procurement represents an ongoing commitment to comprehensive analytical work, adapting to fluctuations such as unexpected inflation rates, and is a gateway for businesses aiming to expand their portfolio in long-term service agreements in the UK research services 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.
