## Summary

The East Kent Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs), represented by the N E L Commissioning Support Unit, are currently in the planning stage of the procurement process for a Termination of Pregnancy (ToP) service. This engagement intends to gather insights from potential providers to inform the commissioning strategy. Key milestones include an engagement end date set for 23 February 2018, with responses to the Request for Information (RFI) due by 5pm on 30 June 2017. The relevant procurement falls under the health services industry category within the South East region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in healthcare services, particularly those with experience in reproductive health or related services. Providers that can demonstrate their capability to deliver effective and compassionate termination of pregnancy services will be well-positioned to compete. Participation in this early engagement process can enhance service delivery models, and while this RFI does not guarantee follow-on procurement, it allows businesses to establish their interest and influence the future procurement landscape.

## Notice

The Commissioner (the four NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups of East Kent: NHS Ashford CCG, NHS Canterbury and Coastal CCG, NHS South Kent Coast CCG, and NHS Thanet CCG) are seeking to engage with organisations who are potentially interested in providing a Termination of Pregnancy (ToP) service. To inform the commissioning process and to help to shape the service model, the Commissioner is engaging with potential providers to assess their capability and interest in delivering the service. We wish to hear from potential providers who believe they are able to deliver the required service as outlined in the Request For Information (RFI) document attached to this advertisement. We are particularly interested in responses to the four key questions in the RFI. Parties wishing to express an interest should send their response by email, to arrive before 5pm on Friday 30 June 2017. Additional information: This RFI does not commit the commissioner to undertake any subsequent procurement process for the service. Participation or non-participation in any early engagement does not entitle, commit, or disbar any provider from participating in any subsequent procurement process for the service. Any subsequent procurement for the service will be advertised separately as appropriate. Any provider wishing to participate in any subsequent procurement for the service will need to respond to any subsequent notice as appropriate.
