## Summary

The NHS South of England Procurement Services is conducting an awarding process for the contract titled "Extended Access to Primary Care Ref 17.371." This service falls under the healthcare industry, specifically focusing on general practitioner services. The contract will cover the areas of Hastings, Bexhill, Rother, Eastbourne, Hailsham, and Seaford, with a total value of approximately £12,688,368 for a contract period starting from 1st October 2018 and ending on 30th September 2023. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and the key dates include the tender submission deadline of 15th June 2018 and the award date of 19th September 2018.
