## About this tender

NHS Enfield Clinical Commissioning Group would like to invite suitably qualified and experienced healthcare service providers to attend a Market Engagement Event for Direct Access Pathology Services.

The aim of the event will be to engage with potential providers for these services, in order to share commissioning intentions and to seek the input from providers on a number important aspects relating to Pathology, including the service specification.

The event will be held 3pm - 5pm on Tuesday 5th July at Holbrook House, Committee Room

The contract opportunity will be limited to providers who can meet the following criteria:

ï&#130;§ Laboratory provision to handle at least 3 million tests per annum

ï&#130;§ Facilities to provide daily collection of samples from Enfield GP Practices of which there are 49

ï&#130;§ Able to provide electronic Pathology requesting and electronic test results

Interest and feedback received at the market event will be used to inform the specification and determine the next steps for procurement.

Whilst this market event applies to Enfield CCG, there are discussions across the 5 CCGs in North Central London (Barnet, Camden, Enfield, Haringey and Islington) which may expand the scope to include approximately 14 million tests per annum. This will be confirmed in advance of a procurement process.

Additional information: NHS Enfield CCG is keen to test the potential provider market for the Direct Access Pathology Services.
