## Summary

The NHS South West London Clinical Commissioning Group is seeking to procure Community Musculoskeletal (MSK) Services across Merton Borough through a limited procurement method without prior publication of a call for competition.

The entire procurement process has been completed, involving health services that address musculoskeletal and joint needs for individuals registered with local GP practices in the London Borough of Merton.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for healthcare service providers specialising in musculoskeletal treatments, rehabilitation, and related services.

## Notice
