Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leeds City Council procured community stop-smoking services in Leeds, classified as community health services (CPV 85323000). The service engages people who smoke and supports them to stop smoking. Its priority group is people who smoke and have, or are at risk of developing, a common mental health illness and/or a long-term physical health condition. Delivery is intended to focus on groups and areas of Leeds where smoking rates are higher than the city average. This is a public health service requiring community-based engagement, smoking cessation support and an ability to reach people with overlapping mental and physical health needs. The requirement was structured as a single service covering the full described scope.

The procurement is recorded at the awarded stage. Leeds City Council used the Provider Selection Regime under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a competition. One bid was recorded and the award criterion was price. The active award is to Inspire North 2024 Limited. The associated contract is active, valued at £470,000, and was signed on 28 August 2026. The tender is marked complete, although its single lot is marked cancelled. The published intention to award began a standstill period, with representations due to decision makers by 8 September 2026. The record states that the Procurement Act 2023 does not apply.

This procurement indicates established local demand for community stop-smoking provision aimed at people with common mental health illness or long-term physical health conditions. A credible future competitor would need a community delivery model, experience engaging people who smoke, and the ability to provide practical, person-centred support to help them stop. Strong local reach would matter, particularly relationships with groups and communities in Leeds areas where smoking prevalence is above the city average. Providers should also be able to demonstrate capability in supporting people with combined smoking, mental health and physical health needs, and to operate within the Provider Selection Regime. The award of the whole requirement to one provider shows the importance of delivering an integrated service at city scale.
