## Summary

The Northamptonshire County Council is seeking suppliers for the procurement of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products as part of its stop smoking service. This initiative targets service users engaged in a 12-week treatment programme and aims to support individuals in quitting smoking entirely. The procurement process is in the award stage, with a contract valued at £400,000 GBP awarded to Sigma Pharmaceuticals plc. The contract period commenced on 25 March 2020 and will run until 1 March 2022, with an option to extend for an additional year. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and items will be delivered to the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses specialising in health-related products, particularly those offering nicotine substitutes. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to explore similar contracts in the future. With increasing emphasis on public health initiatives, companies with innovative NRT solutions or those that can effectively engage with public health services can significantly benefit from opportunities arising from tenders like this.
