This procurement is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for applications set for 15th August 2022. The contract, valued at approximately £3,985,800, is focused on health and social work services and will commence on 1st April 2023, running until 1st April 2029, under the open procurement method detailed in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those equipped to deliver community health programmes and support services for smoking cessation. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be particularly well-suited to participate, as the council seeks to foster partnerships that cater to the diverse needs of the community, particularly among smokers aged 12 and older. Businesses with experience in delivering health-related interventions and those capable of working collaboratively with local health professionals are encouraged to express their interest. ## Notice Islington Council invites suitable expressions of interest from suppliers for the delivery of a Community Stop Smoking Service across the boroughs of Camden and Islington. Current status The Camden and Islington Community Stop Smoking Service (CISSS) has been delivered as a joint service since 2017. Both councils are committed to providing evidence-based services that treat tobacco dependency effectively, help smokers to stop smoking, reduce smoking related health harms and inequality, support residents to stay healthy, and ensure children have the best start in life. The CISSS will contribute to the reduction of smoking prevalence, and as a result increase the ability of communities to live healthier lives. The CISSS model was developed after extensive engagement with stakeholders, and incorporates research from University College London. The model uses a three-tier approach to support (low intensity through to high intensity) to ensure smokers receive the best support to help them stop smoking. The tiers of the service can be defined as: * Tier 1 self-support through online or app-based information and printed media to those smokers who want to quit without face-to-face support. * Tier 2 brief support (minimum two sessions) with appropriate medication provided by trained professionals in community settings. * Tier 3 specialist support with appropriate medication to highly addicted smokers who find it harder to quit so can benefit from an intensive face-to-face intervention and behavioural support. The model has further adapted to take account of the COVID pandemic which resulted in some valuable modifications that received positive feedback from service users. The requirement Islington Council wants to procure a service to support residents of Camden and Islington to successfully stop smoking. The broad aims of the Camden and Islington Community Stop Smoking Service will be to: * offer a range of support options to smokers who want to quit, tailored to their needs and preferences. * ensure all smokers who want to stop smoking can access appropriate information, advice and stop smoking medications. * provide services that are accessible to all groups of the population who may benefit from them, with a specific focus on priority groups. The high-quality service will work with smokers aged 12 or older, who live, work, study or are registered with a GP in the London Boroughs of Camden or Islington. It will take referrals from a diverse range of sources across both Camden and Islington and be open access for all those eligible. It will need to develop and maintain strong partnerships with local NHS acute and mental health trusts to support treatment of tobacco dependency in line with the NHS Plan, ensuring robust referral pathways into the service. The service will also offer support and training to local GPs and community pharmacists commissioned to deliver stop smoking services through a separate locally commissioned scheme.
