Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Dorset Integrated Care Board is procuring a Single Point of Access (SPOA) service for termination of pregnancy services. The requirement is a healthcare service providing a single access route for people seeking termination of pregnancy support and related provision. The buyer is an NHS body based in Dorchester. The selected provider is British Pregnancy Advisory Service, a large UK healthcare organisation based in Leamington Spa. The service is classified as gynaecological or obstetric healthcare, under CPV 85121210. The procurement concerns one requirement rather than a group of separate service areas. It is relevant to providers with established capability to operate termination of pregnancy access services, manage referrals and deliver the associated healthcare pathway for an NHS integrated care board.

The process is recorded as complete and uses the Provider Selection Regime Direct Award Process C, with an award procedure without prior publication of a competition. The intention-to-award notice stated that the contract had not yet formally been awarded and allowed representations by midnight on 6 August 2026. British Pregnancy Advisory Service was selected as the provider, with one bid recorded. The contract was signed on 29 June 2026 and is valued at £2,079. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. The procurement used a limited method and evaluation was based on price. The requirement was presented as one lot, which is marked cancelled, while the associated award is active.

This outcome shows a small-scale but defined NHS requirement for a termination of pregnancy Single Point of Access service. A credible competitor for comparable work would need an established healthcare operation, experience of managing sensitive termination of pregnancy referrals and access arrangements, and the governance, clinical capability and safeguarding processes needed to support patients through the relevant pathway. The selected supplier was an existing provider, indicating that continuity, familiarity with the service and the ability to operate within the buyer’s established arrangements were commercially relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand the Provider Selection Regime and be prepared to demonstrate competitive pricing when similar requirements are considered. The opportunity is most relevant to specialist reproductive healthcare providers and organisations already delivering NHS-commissioned services.
