This tender is currently in the active phase of procurement, using the open procedure method, with a value of £500,000. The deadline for submissions is 4th September 2018. This initiative falls under the health services industry and pertains to the Yorkshire and the Humber region in the United Kingdom. The resulting contract is expected to commence on 1st January 2019 and run until 31st December 2025. This procurement presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) engaged in healthcare and supportive services. Businesses that specialise in smoking cessation programmes, health education, and behavioural support are particularly well-positioned to compete for this contract, as the initiative focuses on delivering effective support for smokers to quit, benefiting both public health and economic outcomes in the region. ## Notice Introduction Smoking still kills. Smoking continues to be the primary cause of premature mortality and preventable illness in North Yorkshire. Nearly 3,000 deaths in 2014-16 were estimated to be attributable to smoking (Local Tobacco Profiles, 2016). The evidence base remains strong for continued investment in local Stop Smoking Services. Recently published 'Models of delivery for stop smoking services: options and evidence by PHE, 2017 states that providing support for smokers to quit is highly cost effective and the evidence is clear that smokers who receive a combination of pharmacotherapy and skilled behavioural support are up to four times more likely to quit successfully. It has been calculated that specialist stop smoking services together with stop smoking medicines end up saving more money than they cost because of the healthcare and economic costs. For every PS1 invested, PS2.37 will be saved on treating smoking related diseases and lost productivity (NICE, ROI, 2016). North Yorkshire adult smoking prevalence in 2016 was 13.1% (equating to 64,000 individuals) which is significantly lower than the prevalence for England (15.5%). People in routine and manual occupations are more likely to smoke than the general population. Compared with England, smoking rates in North Yorkshire are broadly similar for this population group (North Yorkshire 24.5%; England 26.5%). Smoking in pregnancy continues to be a major concern, especially in Scarborough. In North Yorkshire, one-in-eight births (12.9%) are to a smoking mother, 17.3% in Scarborough, compared with 10.5% in England. As well as Scarborough, rates are significantly higher in Harrogate 13.5% and Ryedale 15.3%. Service details The current Stop Smoking Service, Smokefreelife North Yorkshire was commissioned in January 2016 and consisted of a single contract with Solutions4Health Ltd. The service is commissioned to offer an open access service with a particular focus on identified priority populations for North Yorkshire. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffeb2091-8373-4f4d-9760-fa547f01dc25 | | 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 | 5 Jun 2018 | | Submission deadline | 27 Jul 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Jan 2019 - 31 Dec 2025 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Cancelled | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NORTH YORKSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | NORTHALLERTON | | Post town | Darlington | | Postcode | DL7 8AD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE2 North Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE22 North Yorkshire | | Local authority | North Yorkshire | | Electoral ward | Romanby | | Westminster constituency | Richmond and Northallerton | | Delivery location | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 85 - Health and social work services ### Codes - 85100000 - Health services - 85300000 - Social work and related services ## Release History - 5 Jun 2018 at 15:58 - TenderCancellation - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffeb2091-8373-4f4d-9760-fa547f01dc25 - 5 Jun 2018 at 08:52 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecba632e-31d5-41e9-95b8-cb2954c03347 - 4 Jun 2018 at 14:25 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecba632e-31d5-41e9-95b8-cb2954c03347 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ffeb2091-8373-4f4d-9760-fa547f01dc25 5th June 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/ecba632e-31d5-41e9-95b8-cb2954c03347 5th June 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=e8fdbb92-fc67-e811-80ed-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.northyorks.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
