Summary of the contracting process

Shropshire Council is overseeing a contract for the direct supply of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products to support tobacco smokers in quitting. The awarded contractor for this project is Ashtons Hospital Pharmacy Services Limited. With a procurement method of open procedure, this contract falls under the goods category and serves the health industry. Although the tender stage is complete, key details include a significant allocation of £400,000 over four years, with orders placed according to the needs of the Healthy Lives Stop Smoking Service (HLSSS). This procurement is located in Shropshire (Region UKG22) and includes specific classifications for nicotine substitutes. The tendering process involved an electronic submission method and was open until 12 February 2025.

This tender provides substantial business growth opportunities for suppliers in the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, particularly those specialising in nicotine replacement products. Given its significant budget and four-year duration, the contract allows the successful supplier to secure a consistent revenue stream. Businesses that can efficiently manage variable order sizes and ensure timely deliveries will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, suppliers with a strong focus on product quality, as this criteria accounts for 80% of the selection process, coupled with competitive pricing (20%), will have a substantial advantage in meeting the procurement requirements set forth by Shropshire Council.
