Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The NHS North West London Integrated Care Board (NWL ICB) has awarded a contract for the "Termination of Pregnancy Service" under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. This contract, valued at £5,237,145, has been awarded to Marie Stopes International. The procurement falls within the health services industry (CPV Code: 85100000) and will cover the London boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hammersmith & Fulham, Hillingdon, Hounslow, Westminster, and the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The contract, signed on 9th September 2024, will be in effect until 31st March 2025, with no options for extension. This award follows the Direct Award Process A, indicating no realistic alternative provider, and is deemed essential under the NHS Standard Contract.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth for businesses that can demonstrate capacity and expertise in delivering specialised health services. The contract is particularly suited for large-scale healthcare providers capable of efficiently managing essential health services under time-sensitive conditions. Smaller specialised providers focusing on women’s health and reproductive services might find indirect opportunities to collaborate or support the primary service provider. Businesses looking to grow in the healthcare sector, particularly those with a solid track record in essential and time-critical health services, would benefit from monitoring similar future procurement processes.
