NWL CCG requires the provision of Termination of Pregnancy service (TOP) in North West London.

The aim of the service is to provide a choice of TOP methods which are timely and safe depending on the personal health, gestation and circumstances of the individual woman, to reduce repeat TOPs and unintended pregnancies and to promote better sexual health among women and girls of age14 upwards.

Termination of pregnancy via 4 pathways: -Under 18s -Early Medical Terminations -Early Surgical Terminations -Later Surgical/Complex Terminations The CCG currently has an Any Qualified Provider (AQP) arrangement in place with 4 providers: Marie Stopes International, BPAS, NUPAS & Chelwest NHS Trust until 31st March 2022.

The NWL CCG is considering options for making future arrangements for this service.

Any capable provider wanting to be considered to join this AQP arrangement may come forward by 2nd May 2022 to engage with the CCG.

In your response to this opportunity, please advise your interest, capacity and capability to deliver this service via: https://airtable.com/shr52NBGIuyGSsvoY If it is that the above mentioned providers are the only provider capable of delivering the service, then the CCG will look to award a further contract to the provider for up to 12 months beyond April 2022.

Whilst the CCG considers its procurement options for these services going forward, it may extend its arrangements with the current provider until a new contract is awarded.

During 2022, it is anticipated that NWL CCG will be succeeded by an Integrated Care Board (ICB).

Any future contract and/or procurement opportunity may therefore be in the name of the ICB.
