Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Enfield procured an SMS advertising campaign for its Enfield Stop Smoking Services. The campaign is intended to reach smokers identified on GP lists through text messages, supporting promotion and engagement with the local stop-smoking offer. This is a public-sector communications and health-promotion service, specifically combining campaign planning or delivery with access to an appropriate GP-list audience. The work is delivered in Enfield, within the London Borough of Enfield’s area. The procurement is for services rather than goods or construction. Suppliers relevant to this requirement would include organisations experienced in targeted SMS campaigns, public health communications, patient or healthcare engagement, and delivery to appropriately managed GP or NHS-related audiences.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed. Enfield GP Federation was selected as supplier, and the contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £25,000 excluding VAT and £30,000 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, so no comparative tender evaluation basis is recorded. The outcome indicates that the London Borough of Enfield has committed to a single supplier for the SMS stop-smoking campaign over the stated contract period.

For a competitor, this procurement demonstrates a defined demand from the London Borough of Enfield for targeted SMS communication supporting stop-smoking services. A credible supplier for a future requirement would need to combine advertising-campaign capability with practical experience of text-message delivery, audience targeting and health or public-sector communications. The work also points to the importance of reaching smokers through GP-list data, so suppliers would need suitable arrangements for lawful, secure and reliable use of healthcare-related contact information, together with clear processes for campaign governance and message delivery. Experience engaging patients or other healthcare audiences would strengthen a supplier’s position, as would the capacity to manage a borough-wide campaign and work effectively with local NHS or primary-care partners.
