This pre-procurement market engagement aims to clarify the service model and gather insights from potential providers to inform the commissioning process. The engagement period ends on 23 February 2018. The estimated value of the service across all CCGs is £7.3 million, with delivery required in the South East of the United Kingdom. This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for organisations involved in health services, particularly those with experience in providing termination of pregnancy services, sexual health support, and contraceptive methods. Businesses with proven capabilities in delivering high-quality, clinical health services will find themselves well-suited to engage in this tender process. Collaboration with the NHS or similar health authorities can further strengthen bids and align approaches with the CCGs' strategic objectives. ## Notice Pre-procurement market engagement for commissioning a Termination Of Pregnancy (TOP) service by Kent and Medway CCGs.

The estimated value of the service across all CCGs for three years is PS7.3M.
