Interested parties can participate in this market engagement process, with the engagement end date set for 23rd February 2018. The procurement covers multiple regions including North East, North West, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West of England, and falls under the health and social work services industry category. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in healthcare services, particularly those equipped to deliver primary and emergency care services. Providers looking to expand their engagement with NHS England should express their interest and participate in the initial market engagement through the ProContract e-procurement system. By actively participating, businesses can position themselves to compete for upcoming contracts under the DPS, benefiting from potentially increased service delivery across multiple commissioning regions. ## Notice NHS England are proposing to establish national dynamic purchasing systems (DPS's) for primary APMS services and emergency caretaking (APMS) services. These DPSs, (once established) will cover all of NHS England's 4 commissioning regions (North of England, Midlands and East of England, London, South of England). It is likely that the ensuing DPSs will be lotted but the number and structure is currently being determined and will be notified in the full contract notice and subsequent documents. As a result, NHS England are engaging the market to gather interest in the opportunities and to give the interested parties the opportunity to ask any relevant clarification questions about the described process.
