LWS has three core strands, comprised of two specialist components 'Smokefree Sefton' and 'Active Sefton', and a community component, 'LWS Community'. The scope of this project covers LWS Smokefree Sefton only but describes the aligned and integrated relationship with the other components, to provide a seamless health improvement offer for Sefton residents. Sefton wishes to implement a model of service delivery that is dynamic in its approach and meets the diverse needs of the population it serves. The service will maximise opportunities to provide expert and tailored support for people who want to quit or reduce the harms associated with smoking and tobacco. The service will work effectively with key stakeholders to ensure more children and young people grow up in smokefree environments and communities, focusing on settings where children are more likely to be exposed to smoking, including homes and play areas. This contract will commence 1st April 2024 and run for a core period of three years, with two one-year extension options. This procurement is being undertaken in accordance with section 7 of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, also known as the "Light Touch" regime. The Council's maximum budget for this contract is PS630,000 per annum. The price agreed for the contract is subject to the ongoing availability of sufficient funding. In the event that during the contract period the Local Authority does not have sufficient funds to cover the price of the contract the Contractor will develop and agree a contract variation with the Commissioner such that the contract price remains within the funding available. In the event that agreement cannot be reached the dispute resolution procedure set out within the contract will be followed. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/01c31a9e-819a-4eff-8b0b-cec97d923766 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Sep 2023 | | Submission deadline | 27 Oct 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 31 Mar 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SEFTON COUNCIL | | Locality | BOOTLE | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L20 3NJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Derby | | Westminster constituency | Bootle | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 98000000 - Other community, social and personal services ## Release History - 26 Sep 2023 at 16:08 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/01c31a9e-819a-4eff-8b0b-cec97d923766 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/01c31a9e-819a-4eff-8b0b-cec97d923766 26th September 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.sefton.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
