Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council sought specialist smoking cessation services to deliver stop-smoking support. The requirement is a health service, covering the provision of specialist interventions for people seeking to stop smoking. Delivery is for Hull and the surrounding area represented by the council’s stated delivery location. The procurement comprised a single service requirement rather than separate lots. It is suited to small and medium-sized enterprises. Organisations considering this opportunity would need to provide a specialist stop-smoking service capable of supporting people through cessation interventions and delivering the service for the council. The buying organisation is Hull City Council, a local public authority. The service sits within the wider health-services market and is intended for a provider with an operational focus on specialist smoking cessation delivery.

The procurement reached tender: Hull City Council invited offers through Direct Award Process C under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. It was a light-touch health-care procurement with one lot. The estimated value was £3.8 million excluding VAT and £4.56 million including VAT. The contract period was set to run from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with a possible renewal extending the maximum period to 31 March 2030. The tender and award process was subsequently withdrawn. The related award was cancelled on 2 September 2026 because further notices were made under separate regime requirements. The published amendments also referred to changes in procurement requirements and greater clarity on the procurement route.

This opportunity suited providers specialising in smoking cessation and public-health service delivery, particularly organisations able to operate a specialist stop-smoking service for a local authority. Relevant suppliers would be expected to have the clinical, service-management and delivery capability needed to support people who want to stop smoking, rather than general health-service providers without cessation expertise. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so it was not limited to large national contractors. A provider with an established team, appropriate operational systems and experience delivering specialist cessation interventions would have been well placed to assess the requirement. The opportunity has been withdrawn, however, so suppliers should treat it as a cancelled procurement rather than a current route to bid.
