UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Waltham Forest is initiating a procurement process for the provision of a Smoking Cessation Service, which falls under the health services industry category. This process is currently in the planning stage, with key dates including a market engagement exercise scheduled for completion by 26th June 2026. Located in London, this initiative aims to address public health needs while reducing health inequalities. Interested parties are encouraged to engage in this preliminary exercise to help shape future service delivery models. The procurement will employ a market engagement notice, signifying a preliminary assessment rather than a formal tender process.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in public health services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) are particularly well-suited to compete, given the project's focus on innovation and integration within the service specification. Businesses that can demonstrate a commitment to equitable and sustainable public health services will find this an attractive opportunity to expand their operations and impact. Additionally, participation in the market engagement can provide valuable insights into the needs and expectations of the commissioning authority, potentially offering a competitive edge in future tenders.
