Description
Enfield faces significant health challenges. Its residents experience more health inequalities than most other parts of England, have a lower life expectancy and experience higher than average deprivation. The CCG is committed to commissioning services, which meet the needs of the local population and strive to provide an integrated approach to care in the community.
The Community Phlebotomy service will allow adults to receive routine blood tests, and domiciliary blood testing services in the community daily between the hours of 8am and 18.30pm as a minimum and on weekends if needed. This model will provide local, accessible and integrated services that are aligned with providers within the health and social care economy.
NHS Enfield CCG is keen to test the potential market for Community Phlebotomy Service.
The CCG wishes to invite potentially interested providers of the services to a market engagment event to be held on Friday 27th September 2019 from 12.00 am - 2.00pm noon in Enfield.
The event will be to discuss the Enfield Community Phlebotomy Service and the results of the market questionnaire, which will be issued prior to the event.
Contract start date is indicative and may be subject to change.
Please note all attendees must register in advance to attend the market engagement event. If you wish to participate, please register online on or before the 24th September 2019 via the Pro Contract tender portal. The registration form can be accessed via the tender portal at https://procontract.due-north.com/
