This procurement process focuses on delivering phlebotomy services to adult patients aged 16 and over and children aged 3 to 15 in the West Midlands, specifically ensuring convenient access for patients near their homes. The engagement event is set for 26th November 2015, with an engagement end date of 23rd February 2018. This tender presents a significant opportunity for healthcare service providers, particularly those specialising in phlebotomy and related health services, to engage with the Commissioning Group and showcase their capabilities. Businesses that can offer community-based or domiciliary phlebotomy services would be particularly well-suited to compete, as the CCG seeks to tailor services to patient needs and improve accessibility. Participation in the event will allow providers to gain insights into the procurement process and potentially stake their claim in delivering critical health services in the region. ## Notice NHS Arden & Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (AGEM CSU) on behalf of NHS South Warwickshire Clinical Commissioning Group (the CCG) would like to invite providers to attend a 'Market Testing and Engagement Event'. The CCG is looking to test the potential provider market for phlebotomy services and to engage with prospective providers.
