Termination of Pregnancy Services

The NHS Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for Termination of Pregnancy Services to the British Pregnancy Advisory Service. This contract, operating under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, ensures the continuity of essential health services in Hertfordshire. The contract became effective on the 2nd of May 2025, following a standstill period from the 9th to the 21st of April 2025.

It spans one year starting from the 1st of April 2025, with the possibility of a one-year extension, making the total potential value £1,941,702 should the extension be utilised. The procurement method was a direct award without prior publication, prioritising quality and ensuring continuity with the incumbent provider. This tender presents opportunities for businesses within the healthcare services sector, particularly those capable of delivering specialised termination of pregnancy services.

Companies already established within the Hertfordshire region, or those with the capacity to expand their footprint, may find similar opportunities eminent in future procurement processes. Although this contract followed a direct award process, companies focused on healthcare innovation, service integration, collaboration, and social value are well positioned to engage in upcoming contract opportunities within the local healthcare landscape, fostering business growth through consistent public sector contracts.
