UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

North Yorkshire Council is seeking a supplier to provide e-cigarettes and associated products through a voucher scheme supporting local stop-smoking services. The requirement includes e-liquids, customer support for end users, and training for council employees or authorised representatives who provide behavioural support and cessation guidance. The work covers supply and fulfilment for service users across the United Kingdom. This is a goods requirement focused on nicotine-replacement products and the operational support needed to distribute them through vouchers. It may suit manufacturers, wholesalers, specialist retailers, cessation-service providers, or partnerships able to combine compliant product supply with user support and adviser training. The arrangement is demand-led and depends on government funding and service uptake.

The procurement has reached tender: North Yorkshire Council invited offers using an open procedure, with electronic submission allowed in English. Questions were due by 2 September 2026 at 16:00, and bids by 11 September 2026 at 11:00. The intended award decision date is 2 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 31 March 2028, with an option to extend to 31 March 2029. There is one lot, with an estimated value of £308,539.22 excluding VAT, or £370,247.06 including VAT. Evaluation is 40% price and 60% quality, covering objectives, supply management, delivery, customer support, legislation, mobilisation and training, and sustainability. Economic and technical selection requirements apply.

The opportunity suits suppliers with established capability in e-cigarette, e-liquid and related nicotine-product supply, together with robust stock control, order fulfilment and delivery arrangements. Competitors will need to support a voucher-based service and provide responsive assistance to end users, while working effectively with stop-smoking advisers. Experience of product legislation and other legal requirements is important, as is the ability to mobilise the service and train council staff or authorised representatives. The quality assessment also rewards clear alignment with cessation objectives, sustainable delivery and dependable supply management. The council identifies the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Suppliers should be able to manage fluctuating demand and maintain service continuity where funding and uptake change.
