The tender includes multiple lots: Lot 1 for Bulk Buy NRT, Lot 2 for Bulk Buy E-Cigarettes, Lot 3 for Direct to Client NRT, and Lot 4 for Direct to Client E-Cigarettes. The open procedure is currently in the active stage, with the end date for tender submissions set for 3rd December 2024. The total estimated value of the procurement is £1,178,181 GBP. The primary delivery location for services is UKF25 – North Northamptonshire region. This tender provides significant business opportunities for companies that specialise in health and social work services, particularly those offering NRT products and e-cigarettes. Businesses that can supply these products in bulk or provide direct-to-client solutions will find this framework particularly advantageous. With the potential to serve up to 3,000 clients annually within the planned 12-week treatment programmes, service providers can gain considerable visibility and recurring revenue. Suitable candidates include suppliers who have experience in producing or distributing pharmacological aids for smoking cessation, and those with an established logistics network for timely delivery. Engaging in this procurement process can also enhance business reputation by contributing to a public health initiative aiming to reduce smoking rates. ## Notice North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) is setting up a Framework for the provision of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and E-Cigarettes (plus associated consumables) for use with clients engaged with North Northamptonshire Council's Stop Smoking Service for an initial period of 48 months.
