The event is planned for 19th September 2016, and offers potential bidders an opportunity to gain insights into the upcoming procurement process. This event is particularly relevant to businesses in the health and social work services industry, with a strong focus on services tailored to homeless patients and asylum seekers. Interested participants must register their attendance by 16th September 2016. This tender represents an opportunity for organisations specialised in providing primary care services to expand their business by catering to underrepresented demographics, including homeless individuals and asylum seekers. Companies that are well-versed in health and social work, especially those with experience in working with vulnerable populations, will find this engagement event crucial for networking and potentially securing future contracts. Engaging with the NHS and demonstrating capability in delivering these specialised services may enhance competitive positioning in future procurement exercises. ## Notice Advertisement for Market Engagement Event Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (Arden & GEM CSU), on behalf of the Leicester City Clinical Commissioning Group ('LC CCG') ('the commissioner(s)') would like to notify all potential bidders about a 'Market Engagement Event' which has been planned to take place on Monday 19th September 2016.
