Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process executed by Suffolk County Council involves the award of a contract for smoking cessation seminars titled "Allen Carr Easyway Smoking Seminars." This falls under the industry category of health services, specifically targeting eligible residents of Suffolk. The procurement is currently at the award stage, with the contract confirmed on 26 March 2026. Initially scheduled for a period from 1 March 2026 to 31 March 2027, it carries an option for extension by up to 12 months. Conducted as a limited procurement method, the process utilised a direct award under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) without a prior call for competition, emphasising tailored support derived from the Smoking and Vaping Health Needs Assessment 2024.

This tender represents a growth opportunity primarily for businesses like Allen Carr's Easyway (International) Ltd, specialising in innovative health service interventions such as smoking cessation. As the authority opts to purchase specific seminar spaces, businesses focused on health services and community outreach can effectively engage in delivering substantial public health benefits to Suffolk residents. Moreover, small and medium-sized enterprises with expertise in online and in-person health seminars are well-positioned to compete, particularly those adept at addressing unique local health needs through targeted interventions.
