Interested providers are invited to participate in a Market Engagement Event scheduled for 31st October 2019 at the Professional Development Centre, London. The engagement will conclude on the same day, with a deadline for registration set for 29th October 2019 at 17:00. This tender arises from the need to re-procure services for The Barkantine Practice and St Andrew's Health Centre, with the procurement process expected to launch formally in December 2019. This procurement presents a significant opportunity for qualified service providers, particularly those specialising in primary healthcare and general practitioner services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to apply, as there will be possibilities for collaborative approaches and innovative service delivery. Businesses with experience in delivering similar medical services or those looking to expand their offerings in the healthcare sector should consider attending the Market Engagement Event to gain insights and network with the NHS representatives. ## Notice NHS Tower Hamlets (hereafter referred to as "The Authority") invites interested, suitably qualified and experienced providers of primary medical GP services (the Services) to attend a Market Engagement Event in advance of publication of two APMS contracts which are available in NHS Tower Hamlets CCG area.
