Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

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.
