Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Enfield procured additional licences for the London Smokefree digital smoking cessation service, titled London Smokefree App. This is a digital application service, falling within application service provider activity. The requirement supports continued use of a digital service that helps people stop smoking, rather than the development of a general-purpose application. Enfield is the buying organisation and the service is delivered in Enfield, London. The opportunity is relevant to application service providers, software companies and digital health or smoking-cessation specialists able to supply licences for an established public-sector digital service. It may also suit organisations that operate or support online health interventions for local authorities.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The buyer used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, covering one lot. The award is active. The contract was signed on 9 August 2026 and runs from 10 August 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its value is £175,000 excluding VAT, or £210,000 including VAT. The contract is for additional London Smokefree App licences and is being delivered in Enfield. The published outcome shows Tower Hamlets as the selected supplier, despite Enfield being the buyer. No competitive tender evaluation was used because the procurement was made directly without competition.

This procurement demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for licensed access to a digital smoking-cessation service, with a substantial multi-year requirement from a London borough. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide an established application service, manage licence provision reliably and support continued access for service users. Relevant experience would include delivering digital health, smoking-cessation or behaviour-change services for public authorities, together with the operational capacity to maintain a live service over several years. Suppliers should be able to work within local-government arrangements and demonstrate that their platform can support the buyer’s service objectives. The route used here also shows that the buyer may consider a direct, below-threshold procurement where an existing service or licensing arrangement is involved.
