## Description

NHS Croydon Clinical Commissioning Group \(the CCG\) is inviting Tenders from Providers in relation to the delivery of a Musculoskeletal Service to the population of Croydon\. The service model and commissioning intentions include for the Provider of future MSK services to: - Improve, support, manage and coordinate MSK need and conditions delivered primarily in General Practice but with access to expertise in secondary care for advice, collaboration and onward referral when required\. - Work closely alongside GPs to encourage and enable GPs to provide support and self-help/management of the patients' MSK conditions without the need for onward referral\.
