Fred's on form, so get him here! (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

send for

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get him here' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun but the answer is not.

'fred's on form' is the wordplay.
'form' indicates an anagram.
'freds'+'on'='fredson'
'fredson' with letters rearranged gives 'SEND FOR'.

'so' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for send for that I've seen is " Order to come or be brought".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
