Provision of Women's Termination Services

The procurement process for the "Provision of Women's Termination Services" is managed by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services and was recently updated on 18 December 2025. This contract, focused on the healthcare services industry, specifically provides surgical terminations of pregnancy beyond 18 weeks gestation for Swansea Bay University Health Board patients, with services located in Cardiff, region UKL22. The procurement stage is in the contract update phase following an award via a Direct Award Process 2, selecting BPAS as the supplier.

The contract period extends over 1,080 days, with its active status beginning on 10 November 2025. This tender presents meaningful opportunities for providers in the healthcare services sector with specialised capabilities in late-term pregnancy termination services. Businesses experienced in delivering surgical and early medical abortion services, particularly those equipped to handle complex cases involving foetal anomalies, would find this contract advantageous.

Given the limited competition aspect of the procurement due to the framework’s constraints, large-scale healthcare organisations with the capacity to maintain continuity of care and adhere to healthcare regulations are best positioned to compete in such a scenario. This direct award method ensures compliance and minimises service disruption, making it a strategic business growth opportunity for suitable providers.
