Summary of the contracting process

Central Bedfordshire Council procured health services under the Allen Carr Easyway requirement. The named service is to be delivered by Allen Carr's EasyWay, with delivery locations covering the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. A UK delivery address is recorded in Shefford, Bedfordshire, with postcode SG17 5TQ. The procurement is categorised as services and classified under CPV 85100000, covering health services. The scope is identified as the contract signing stage for Allen Carr's Easyway. This is therefore relevant to organisations able to provide or support this named health-service approach across the stated geographical coverage, rather than to general suppliers of unrelated goods, works or professional services.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Allen Carr's EasyWay on 22 September 2026. The award value is £0. The award contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17 September 2026 at 3:20pm. The procurement used an ‘Other’ method, with no further method description recorded, and the tender is described as being at the contract-signing stage. The tender status is complete. Central Bedfordshire Council is the buyer. The recorded suitability assessment states that the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and the contract period matches the awarded term.

This award identifies a specific public-sector requirement for Allen Carr's EasyWay health services, with delivery potentially extending across the UK and several international or associated territories. It provides a useful benchmark for suppliers assessing whether they can deliver this named service consistently across a broad geographic footprint and work with Central Bedfordshire Council. A credible future competitor would need capability in the relevant health-service delivery model, sufficient operational reach for the stated locations, and the capacity to meet a council’s contract-signing and service-delivery requirements. The recorded procurement was not assessed as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations should consider whether their scale and structure match the buyer’s expectations before monitoring similar requirements.
