The ICB is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from the market for timely and safe abortion methods, post-abortion contraception, and better sexual health promotion among women, girls, and pregnant individuals. Interested parties must register on the e-procurement system, Atamis, and respond to a questionnaire by 27th May 2024. A market engagement event is planned for the week commencing 3rd June 2024. This tender by the NHS aims to provide opportunities for businesses to deliver abortion care services within the BNSSG ICB footprint. Companies in the health services industry or those offering contraception and sexual health solutions would be well-suited to compete. With a focus on promoting women's health and well-being, this tender presents a chance for businesses to contribute to important healthcare services within the Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire region. ## Notice Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Integrated Care Board (ICB) are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from the market to deliver abortion care services within the BNSSG ICB footprint. It is the ICB's intention to formally procure these services later this year and the ICB would like to understand the level of provider interest in delivering these services, to help identify any existing or potential capacity and to inform the procurement strategy and contracting options. The service is intended to provide a choice of abortion methods that are timely and safe depending on the personal health, gestation and circumstances of the individual, provide post-abortion contraception to reduce repeat abortions (defined as a person who has had more than one termination) and future unplanned pregnancies, and to promote better sexual health among women, girls and people who are pregnant. Consideration is being given to procuring a number of separate contracts, subject to the outcome of market and stakeholder engagement. This may result in a multi-lotted procurement process. If you are interested in this opportunity, please register on the e-procurement system, Atamis (details at the end of this notice) and respond to the short questionnaire by 27th May 2024. It is the ICB's intention to hold a market engagement event in the week commencing 3rd June 2024 with all parties who have registered their interest. An invitation to this event will be issued directly to you once you have registered on the Atamis portal. This exercise is being managed by NHS South, Central and West Commissioning Support Unit (SCW) on behalf of BNSSG ICB. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG) Integrated Care Board (ICB) are seeking Expressions of Interest (EOI) from the market to deliver abortion care services within the BNSSG ICB footprint.
