Description of the procurement
The Health Services Executive (HSE) intends to initiate a procurement process shortly in respect of the delivery of HPV testing to the public health system. In advance of this procurement, it has been decided to undertake a market engagement seminar, the purpose of which is two-fold.

Secondly, this market engagement seminar will also seek the views of the market on potential service delivery models. We believe in giving service providers, regardless of their size, an opportunity to help shape and influence the future of procurement and the provision of these services across the public health system. The views of the market are important to us and represent an opportunity for participants to provide early input into contracting approaches and service delivery models. Further details are available on the briefing document associated with this notice.
