Summary of the contracting process

Newcastle City Council is recommissioning a community specialist stop-smoking service. The requirement is for community-based health services to support people to stop smoking in Newcastle upon Tyne. The work sits within health and community health services and is procured as a service contract. Suppliers should consider whether they can deliver specialist smoking cessation support in a local community setting and meet the council’s service requirements. The Public Health Directorate is identified as the body involved in procurement review.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The tender deadline set by the council was 4 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, with bids submitted electronically in English. The evaluation basis is 100% quality, and variants are not allowed. The requirement is a single lot, with a fixed-price contract estimated to run for 900 days. The lot value is £1,659,000. The contract includes an option for one 12-month extension, giving a possible total duration of 42 months. The tender set the evaluation period to begin on 4 November 2026 at 12:01 UTC.

This opportunity is suited to providers with the specialist capability to deliver stop-smoking support through community health services in Newcastle upon Tyne. Because evaluation is entirely on quality, suppliers should be able to demonstrate the quality and effectiveness of their proposed service, alongside a credible approach to meeting the requirements in the tender documents. The fixed-price arrangement and substantial service scope are likely to suit organisations able to plan and sustain delivery over a multi-year contract, including the potential extension. Supplier suitability is assessed by reference to the tender documentation. The requirement may be relevant to specialist smoking cessation providers, community health organisations and health-service contractors with suitable delivery capacity and experience.
