This contract, focused on the healthcare services industry, specifically provides surgical terminations of pregnancy beyond 18 weeks gestation for Swansea Bay University Health Board patients, with services located in Cardiff, region UKL22. The procurement stage is in the contract update phase following an award via a Direct Award Process 2, selecting BPAS as the supplier. The contract period extends over 1,080 days, with its active status beginning on 10 November 2025. This tender presents meaningful opportunities for providers in the healthcare services sector with specialised capabilities in late-term pregnancy termination services. Businesses experienced in delivering surgical and early medical abortion services, particularly those equipped to handle complex cases involving foetal anomalies, would find this contract advantageous. Given the limited competition aspect of the procurement due to the framework’s constraints, large-scale healthcare organisations with the capacity to maintain continuity of care and adhere to healthcare regulations are best positioned to compete in such a scenario. This direct award method ensures compliance and minimises service disruption, making it a strategic business growth opportunity for suitable providers. ## 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.
