## Summary

NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of an "Adult critical care transfer and advice service in the East of England." This engagement focuses on understanding the needs for critical care transport services in the East of England, with a specific deadline for stakeholder engagement set for 14th January 2021. Interested service providers are encouraged to participate in this initiative, which includes completing a questionnaire and attending a planned workshop to discuss service gaps and opportunities.

This procurement process presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in health services, particularly those specialising in critical care transport and organisational management. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, as the tender process aims to gather diverse insights from those directly engaged in the delivery of critical care services. By participating, businesses can not only contribute to improving healthcare delivery but also position themselves strategically in a competitive market.
