Summary, notice description and lot information
NHS Leicester, Leicestershire, and Rutland ICB intends to award a contract for Termination of Pregnancy Services to BPAS - British Pregnancy Advisory Service. This intention falls under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) as per the Health Care Services Regulations 2023. The publication of this notice, dated 14 February 2025, marks the start of the standstill period, allowing providers to submit representations by 26 February 2025.
The contract, valued at approximately £2,816,491, is set to cover services from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026 and focuses on compassionate healthcare for unplanned or challenging pregnancies. The procurement method used is a limited award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and it falls within the industry category of health services, specifically gynaecologic and obstetric services. This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for established providers in the healthcare sector who specialise in reproductive health services.
BPAS has been chosen based on their ability to meet contract KPIs, excellent user satisfaction rates, and innovative service delivery. Businesses that promote quality, value, integration, collaboration, and social value in healthcare services would be well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The participation in the Women's System Partnership and offering services like Central Booking Services to enhance access to abortion treatment further showcase the comprehensive and community-focused approach expected in this contract.
The Termination of Pregnancy Service is a compassionate and confidential healthcare service designed to support individuals facing unplanned or challenging pregnancies. The services encompass a range of options, including counselling on reproductive choices, medical assessments, and access to safe and legal termination procedures. The service prioritises the well-being and autonomy of service users, offering a supportive and understanding environment throughout the decision-making process and striving to empower individuals to make informed choices about their reproductive health, promoting dignity and confidentiality. The ICB is intending to award a contract to an existing provider following direct award process C, where the existing provider is satisfying the existing contract and will likely satisfy the proposed new contract, and the contract is not changing considerably, and the test for considerable change is not met. The approximate lifetime value of the contract is PS2,816,491. The dates between which the services are intended to be provided are: 01/04/2025 to 31/03/2026.
