Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Sutton procured a smoking cessation programme to help smokers quit through behavioural support techniques. This is a public health service covering medical practice, related services and community health services. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom for the council’s residents and service users. The procurement was structured as one lot and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is focused on providing an organised smoking cessation service rather than supplying products or equipment. Businesses working in smoking cessation, behavioural change, community healthcare, primary care support or related public health provision would find the subject matter relevant. The council is the buying organisation and the service supports its local public health responsibilities.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 9 July 2026 to Allen Carr’s Easyway (International) Ltd. The award value is £180,000 gross, in GBP, for the single lot. The contract runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2028, with one optional one-year extension allowing a maximum end date of 11 October 2029. The council used a direct award under Process C of the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime Regulations 2023. It was a below-threshold award without competition. The award is active, and a contract signature was scheduled for 5 October 2026. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the procurement was handled as a direct award rather than a competitive tender.

This award demonstrates established local demand for structured smoking cessation delivered through behavioural support, with the requirement spanning community health and related medical services. A credible future competitor would need a proven approach to helping smokers quit, trained staff able to provide behavioural interventions, and the operational capacity to deliver a consistent service for a public-sector population. Experience in community-facing healthcare and public health programmes would support a strong fit, particularly where services can be integrated with local referral and support pathways. The buyer has shown that this type of requirement can be placed through the Health Care Services Provider Selection Regime, including a direct-award route, so suppliers should understand that regime and be able to evidence service quality, reliability and continuity.
