Where a provider does not provide a particular service within an ICS / Health Board area, the patient must be informed that they may need to travel to access this type of care and about all the alternative choices available locally.<br/>Providers should act collaboratively to ensure care pathways are seamless, and always put the patient's interests first by directing them to services that best fit their needs.<br/><br/>The proposed contract is for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for an additional 2 years. The anticipated contract value is circa PS1,800,000 per annum.<br/><br/>To apply for this opportunity provider were asked to register via the Atamis e-sourcing portal https://health-family.force.com/s/Welcome.

The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.<br/><br/>This service was tendered for a Provider to offer a full range of abortion services, either themselves or in collaboration with other providers.<br/><br/>The pathway will include provision of:<br/><br/>* Direct access to the service via self-referral, without need for medical referral. Patients should not have any restrictions in their choice of provider and can opt for a service that is not the most local (e.g. to access lower waiting times, choice owing to a past good or poor experience, to receive care in a different location.<br/><br/>* Assessment by phone or video call or face-to-face according to preference, and treatment in a range of settings including in the community and through no-test telemedicine abortion where appropriate. If patients prefer a face-to face assessment, this should be available locally.<br/><br/>* Medical or surgical abortion up to 24 weeks' gestation.<br/><br/>* For early medical abortion, to have the option of expulsion at home.<br/><br/>* Surgical abortion available at all gestations up to 24 weeks, with availability of local anaesthesia and conscious sedation.<br/><br/>* These choices should be available to all patient groups, including young people (i.e. under 18 and those aged under 25 in local authority care).<br/><br/>* Not all choices will be available at all locations, and travel may be necessary to access more complex care options (e.g. later gestation, general anaesthesia)<br/><br/>* Assessment within 1 week of the request<br/><br/>* Provide the abortion within 1 week of the assessment for women who decide to go ahead with an abortion.<br/><br/>* Gynaecology care, with more complex care (e.g. later gestations or co-morbidities) will be delivered by regional or, in the most complex cases, national centres.<br/><br/>This is an existing service and the proposed award is to the existing provider, having undertaken a Competitive process, in line with PSR requirements.<br/><br/>The proposed contract is for a period of 3 years with the option to extend for an additional 2 years. <br/><br/>The anticipated annual contract value is circa PS1,800.000 per annum",
