## Summary

The NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board has awarded a contract for the provision of Termination of Pregnancy and Contraceptive Services, classified under CPV code 85121210 for gynaecologic or obstetric services. This contract, valued at £0.01 with an indicative total cost of £5,140,000 over two years, will span from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2027, with an option to extend until 30th June 2029. The contracting process followed the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime (PSR) Regulations 2023, employing a 'Direct Award Process B' without prior competition due to regulatory allowances. The services will be delivered across UK regions UKG23 and UKG24, focusing on offering comprehensive care, including assessment, counselling, and contraceptive advice. The project was overseen by decision-makers from the NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent ICB Finance and Planning Committee, with no conflicts of interest reported.

This procurement introduces an opportunity for businesses experienced in health care services, particularly those specialising in reproductive health, to expand their portfolio by delivering NHS Termination of Pregnancy Services. Suitable bidders would include large-scale health service providers like BPAS and MSI Reproductive Choices, who have been newly contracted for this project. These services support comprehensive patient care and offer the potential for providers to enhance their service offerings and capture a segment of the reproductive health market within Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. The direct award method highlights the importance of quality, given that patient choice was a determining criterion, suggesting that firms with a strong reputation in patient satisfaction and innovative service delivery would find competitive advantage.
