## Notice

NHS North East Essex Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) will be extending its current contract with Marie Stopes International for a period of 12 months for the provision of Termination of Pregnancy Services. The additional contractual term will be from 1.9.2021 to 31.8.2022, and will allow for a future procurement across the Suffolk & North East Essex Integrated Care System (ICS), and will allow the commissioners sufficient time to undertake the relevant engagement with all stakeholder parities to inform a robust procurement process, which aims to award a new longer term contract whilst ensuring continuity of care for its patient population. A voluntary ex ante transparency notice relating to this matter was published on 7.12.2020.
