Summary of the contracting process

The Council of the Borough of Kirklees has successfully completed a procurement process for the supply of vaping devices, e-liquids, and associated maintenance items under the Kirklees Stop Smoking Service treatment programme. The procurement was facilitated through a restricted, invite-only tender with limited competition, conducted below the threshold. This contract, identified as KMCPH-048, falls within the goods industry category, specifically under tobacco and related supplies. The contract commenced on 1 July 2026 and is scheduled to end on 31 March 2028, with an optional extension for a further year until 31 March 2029. The buying organisation is based in Huddersfield, UK, and relevant to businesses interested in the West Yorkshire region (UKE44). The contract was awarded to Pillbox38 UK Ltd, a large supplier located in Blackburn.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of vaping products and their associated goods. Firms specialising in tobacco goods and supplies or those looking to expand their client base into public health initiatives could find significant growth potential here. The procurement's limited competition nature suggests that enterprises with established credentials or those familiar with public sector contracts would be particularly well-suited to similar opportunities. Businesses within the United Kingdom, especially those operating in or accessible to the Huddersfield and broader West Yorkshire region, may find themselves well-positioned to engage and compete for future tenders from Kirklees Council or similar public authorities.
