Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by The North Yorkshire Council concerns the provision of vouchers for purchasing e-cigarettes and associated liquids. The procurement falls under the goods category and is located in Northallerton, United Kingdom. Initially planned for a tender, the process was eventually cancelled on 14th July 2026 due to an internal review for refinement and alignment with the Council's values post the introduction of the Tobacco and Vapes Act 2026. The Council intends to issue a revised tender soon, offering a renewed opportunity for interested businesses. The procurement method was an open procedure, indicative of a competitive and transparent selection process.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, especially those in the tobacco goods and supplies industry, as it encompasses a demand-led voucher scheme to supply e-cigarettes and associated products. Companies aimed at participating in the supply of nicotine substitutes or those offering customer support and training for local smoking cessation services are well-suited for involvement. SMEs and VCSEs will find this opportunity particularly beneficial due to its demand-driven nature, allowing for flexibility and adaptability in service delivery. The original contract value was dependent on government funding, meaning the future tender may present a lucrative and strategically significant business prospect for small to medium enterprises looking to enhance their market presence within public health initiatives.
