## Summary

The procurement process for the "Provision of Women's Termination Services" was managed by the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership-Procurement Services, hosted by Velindre University NHS Trust. This contract involves providing medical specialist services, particularly surgical terminations of pregnancy for patients beyond 18 weeks gestation, in the region of Swansea Bay Health Board, with services located in Cardiff. The contract, identified as "SBU-DAP2-61009," had an award and contract update published on 18th December 2025, and its procurement stage is currently at the award and contract phase. The procurement method used was a direct award due to the unique provider capability and capacity condition, identified as outside the scope of regular procurement directives. The contract was signed on 10th November 2025, with a duration of 1,080 days. The key aim was to ensure continuity of care with BPAS as the recognised supplier capable of delivering the necessary services.

This tender opens significant opportunities for businesses specialising in medical specialist services, particularly those capable of offering complex care and procedures related to pregnancy terminations. Organisations with the expertise to operate within specified compliance frameworks and ensure continuous service delivery in clinical settings are particularly well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. Although the contract has been directly awarded, similar opportunities could arise for organisations that can expand facilities or services where existing capacity is fully utilised, offering potential growth and partnership opportunities with NHS bodies.

## Notice

Provision of surgical termination of pregnancy for patients beyond 18 weeks gestation.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

Provision of surgical terminations of pregnancy for all Swansea Bay University Health Board (SBUHB) patients who require an abortion beyond 18 weeks gestation. The provision offers a comprehensive range of services, including early medical abortion, surgical abortion, and specialist care for complex cases such as foetal anomalies. Direct Award 2 is felt to be most appropriate route because there is only one provider currently listed on the Welsh framework with the capability and capacity to deliver surgical terminations beyond 18 weeks gestation, ensuring continuity of care, compliance with procurement regulations, and avoiding disruption to a clinically essential service. The existing contract is due to expire, and the commissioner has proposed a new contract to replace at the end of its term; the proposed contracting arrangements are not a considerable change; and the commissioner is of the view that the existing provider is satisfying the existing contract and will likely be able to satisfy the proposed contract to a sufficient standard.

### Procurement Information

The provider is the only provider currently listed on the Welsh framework with the capability and capacity to deliver surgical terminations beyond 18 weeks gestation, ensuring continuity of care, compliance with procurement regulations, and avoiding disruption to a clinically essential service.
