## Summary

The procurement process titled "Local Stop Smoking Service 2021" is conducted by Oxfordshire County Council, aimed at securing services classified under miscellaneous health services. The initiative is currently in the award stage, having been signed on 1st March 2021, with an active contract value of £1,900,000 set to commence from 1st April 2021 and run until 31st March 2024, with potential extensions. This tender was carried out under an open procedure as described in the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, focused geographically in Oxford, UK.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those offering smoking cessation support through innovative behavioural methods and pharmacotherapy. Companies with experience in delivering public health initiatives, especially those that can demonstrate effective service models and accessibility for priority groups, will be well-positioned to compete. Collaborating with organisations that have a strong understanding of local health challenges and strategies for reducing smoking prevalence could further enhance their prospects in this 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.
