## Summary

The NHS Shared Business Services is planning a tender for the "Termination of Pregnancy Service for SW London" with a total budget of £9.6 million, allocated across multiple fiscal years from April 2018 to March 2022. This procurement process is currently at the planning stage, and interested organisations are encouraged to engage by completing a Market Engagement Questionnaire by 5pm on Thursday, 26th October 2017. This initiative aims to establish a new Any Qualified Provider framework that will enhance service delivery across several Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) in South West London, including Wandsworth, Merton, Kingston, Richmond, and Sutton.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the health and social work services sector, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Potential bidders should focus on innovative solutions that improve service accessibility and patient choice, aligning with the NHS objectives of optimising system capacity. Participation in the market engagement process is crucial, as it allows interested providers to contribute to shaping the final service requirements and increases their chances of securing the contract.

## Notice

NHS Merton Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) is finalising its decision, with neighbouring CCGs, in regards to the future provision of Termination of Pregnancy Services (ToPS) and is undertaking market engagement in order to seek the views and opinions of those organisations that may be interested in helping to deliver the services as it finalises plans to establish new contracts. It is intended that a new Any Qualified Provider (AQP) framework is established in order to optimise system capacity and patient choice with the framework intending to be accessible by patients across: o Wandsworth CCG; o Merton CCG; o Kingston CCG; o Richmond CCG; and o Sutton CCG. The CCGs have a current intention to participate as commissioners to establish the new AQP framework, although this will be subject to their final decision making ahead of any potential procurement process. Interested providers are invited to complete the attached Market Engagement Questionnaire (MEQ), having regard to the draft Service Specification (also attached). Additional information: Participation in the engagement exercise is not a mandatory requirement for participating in any potential future procurement however responses received will assist to inform the Commissioner regarding the final specification of its requirements and approach to contracting issues and also whether it will be appropriate/necessary to run a competitive process for one of the proposed lots. CONFIRMATION OF YOUR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT. Please return the Market Engagement Questionnaire by 5pm, Thursday 26th October 2017 to ekkehard_kugler@nhs.net, with the email Subject Heading "Market Engagement Response - ToPS"
