This key event will take place on 17th December 2018 in Euston Tower, London. Interested organisations must register by 11th December 2018, and participants are required to complete a short survey to secure their place. The scheme falls under the medical practice and related services category and represents an opportunity for a variety of healthcare providers. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in healthcare, particularly those offering general medical services, social enterprises, or third sector organisations. Companies that possess the necessary capacity and capability to deliver primary medical care services will find this engagement particularly relevant. By participating in this workshop, businesses can gain valuable insights into service specifications, enhance their market presence, and potentially influence the commissioning route for the Special Allocation Scheme in London. ## Notice Special Allocation Scheme NHS England working with London Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships (STPs) Commissioners wish to engage with the provider market on the development of the Special Allocation Scheme (SAS) service in London and what this service may look like. We would therefore wish to meet with suitably qualified and experienced healthcare providers (including general practitioners, social enterprise / third sector organisations and other providers) with the necessary capacity and capability (or a demonstrable ability to provide the necessary capacity and capability) to discuss the SAS primary medical care services as set out in the published service specifications. The event will be held in London on 17th December 2018, please see below for further details and confirmation on how to book a place. Please ensure you read all attachments before responding to this advert. Engagement Event The outcomes of the engagement event will support discussions on the most appropriate commissioning route for this service within London. To facilitate these discussions, we would like interested parties to attend 1:1 table discussions on 17th December at Euston tower, London. Exact timings are yet to be agreed and will be determined by the number of interested parties, i.e. if we have a large number of providers interested in the event we may hold an AM and PM session, however if the numbers are manageable in 1 session, we will hold an am session only. To facilitate discussions, we request that all attending organisations complete our survey and return it back to us via the portal by 11th December. Only those that have completed our very short survey will be guaranteed a place at the event. These surveys will help us gather some preliminary information and aid in discussions on the day.
