This event, scheduled for 23rd March 2018 at Beales Hotel in Hatfield, aims to inform the market about upcoming opportunities related to Community Phlebotomy and Pathology services. Interested parties must register by 22nd March 2018, with final preparations underway to ensure comprehensive engagement with market providers. The procurement falls within the health services sector, specifically classified under the CPV code 85100000, and represents an essential progression towards finalising the service specifications needed for patient care in the region. This tender process offers valuable opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in healthcare and medical services, who are keen to contribute to the delivery of pathology and phlebotomy services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate, as the CCG is keen to engage a diverse range of providers to shape the final service specifications. Companies interested in expanding their footprint in the health sector, enhancing their service offerings, or collaborating with the CCG in innovative healthcare solutions would greatly benefit from attending this market engagement event. ## Notice Subject: Market Engagement for Community Phlebotomy and Pathology East and North Hertfordshire CCG are holding a pre-procurement event to inform the market of our intentions for these services. We are a CCG with a patient population of 597,000.
