## Summary

The NHS Arden and Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit is currently seeking Expressions of Interest for the provision of an NHS111 Service in Lincolnshire. This procurement falls under the health services category and is being conducted through an open procedure. The tender was published on 27th April 2020, with a closing date for submissions set for 28th May 2020. The contract is expected to commence on 1st October 2022 and will last until 30th September 2027.

The focus on high-quality, safe, and effective service delivery tailored to urgent care needs could lead to fruitful engagements for providers who can integrate technologies that enhance patient convenience and service accessibility within the Lincolnshire health system.
