BLMK are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) / Request For Information (RFI) for a provider to deliver Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) within BLMK. The purpose of this Expression of Interest / Request for Information process is to understand from practices in and around Bedfordshire who would be willing to deliver this service.
