Summary of the contracting process

Wolverhampton City Council is commissioning a structured, evidence-based smoking cessation service for employees of small and medium-sized enterprises in Wolverhampton. The service is intended to help employees quit smoking, particularly those in routine and manual occupations, while reducing health inequalities, improving workforce health and productivity, reducing sickness absence and supporting organisational wellbeing. Providers will deliver accessible, proactive and engaging interventions tailored to SME workplaces. The requirement is a health service (CPV 85100000) delivered across four Wolverhampton areas: Blakenhall, Pendeford, Wednesfield and Bilston. It is divided into four area-based lots, enabling suppliers to target delivery in a defined local community. The council is the buying organisation and will use the service to improve smoking-related health outcomes among local employees.

The procurement has reached tender: Wolverhampton City Council invited offers through an open procedure using the competitive process under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Questions could be submitted until 15 September 2026 at 17:00, and bids were due by 30 September 2026 at 12:00. Electronic submission was allowed in English through the council’s tendering website. The contract period for every lot is 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the award decision due by 3 November 2026. The total gross value is £120,000, with each of the four lots valued at £30,000. Quality carries 90% of the evaluation weighting and social value 10%. A supplier may win up to three lots; if it ranks highest on all four, its lowest-scoring lot is awarded to the second-ranked provider.

This opportunity suits smoking cessation providers, public health organisations and other health service businesses able to design and deliver evidence-based programmes directly within SME workplaces. Strong candidates will need to engage employees in routine and manual occupations, provide accessible and proactive support, and tailor delivery to different local business communities in Wolverhampton. The requirement favours organisations with practical experience of helping smokers quit, delivering structured interventions, and working with employers or workplace populations. Providers should be able to demonstrate a credible approach to improving participation, supporting sustained behaviour change and contributing to wider workforce wellbeing. The lots are suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, and the area-based structure may suit providers with established local delivery capacity or partnerships across Wolverhampton.
