## Summary

The Oxfordshire County Council has awarded a contract titled "Local Stop Smoking Service 2021" aimed at delivering critical behavioural and pharmacotherapy support to priority smokers. The procurement process was classified under the miscellaneous health services category (CPV code: 85140000), with a total contract value of £1,900,000. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2021 and will run until 31st March 2026. The procurement method followed an open procedure, and the contract was finalised and published on 3rd March 2021. The service address includes various delivery locations across the UK, including Oxford (OX1 1ND). The last date for submission of tenders was 21st September 2020.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in health services and community support initiatives. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community sector enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-positioned to compete, as the contract is suitable for businesses that can provide personalised behavioural support and healthcare solutions. The focus on reducing smoking prevalence and its health impacts aligns with the interests of organisations that are dedicated to public health, making this an attractive opportunity for growth in the health services sector.

## Notice

The primary aim of the service is to provide an offer of support to priority smokers in the population through a combination of behavioural support (individual face-to-face, digital applications, online, telephone, text message) and pharmacotherapy (e.g. patches) to manage nicotine withdrawal. This combined approach has been shown to be highly effective in improving long-term quit rates. In doing so it can achieve these objectives: * reduce the impact of smoking on health of individuals and those around them; * reduce inequalities by targeting groups where smoking prevalence is higher; * protect children from smoke by working with pregnant women and their partners, not to smoke. Children are three times more likely to smoke if their parent smokes; * reduce the impact of smoking related health conditions on the NHS and Adult Social Care.
