This procurement process pertains to the healthcare industry, specifically dental services, and is located in Hertfordshire, within the East of England. The tender is currently in the Tender stage, with responses due by 12 noon on 2nd March 2017.

Engaging in this service may not only enhance providers' portfolios but also strengthen their relationships with NHS commissioning bodies.
