Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Sutton is procuring a smoking cessation service through the Allen Carr Easyway Smoking Cessation Programme. The service supports smokers to quit using behavioural support techniques, with the wider aim of reducing smoking prevalence in Sutton and contributing to the Government’s ambition for a smoke-free England by 2030. It will prioritise groups identified as needing smoking cessation support. The requirement is classified as medical practice and related services and community health services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, for Sutton’s local population. This is a public health service rather than a supply of physical goods or construction work, and is relevant to providers with experience delivering structured smoking cessation and community health support.

The procurement has reached the intention-to-award stage under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. It used a direct award process, below the relevant threshold and without competition, with one completed lot suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Allen Carr’s Easyway (International) Ltd has been selected as supplier. The award value is £180,000 including VAT, in GBP, and is below threshold. The contract is scheduled to run from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2028, with one optional 12-month extension available until 6 September 2029. A signature milestone is scheduled for 4 September 2026. The award notice was published on 18 August 2026. The procurement was evaluated through the direct provider selection route rather than a competitive tender.

This procurement shows demand from Sutton for a defined, locally delivered smoking cessation programme focused on behavioural support and measurable reduction in smoking prevalence. A credible future competitor would need a proven method for helping smokers quit, the staff and systems to provide structured support at community level, and the ability to prioritise groups identified by the local authority as needing cessation help. Providers should be able to demonstrate relevant medical, public health or community health delivery experience and understand how to support a local population rather than offer only general wellbeing services. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist provider, although organisations would still need sufficient capacity to serve Sutton throughout the core service period and any extension.
