The procurement, focused on health services, took place in Hereford, UK, aiming to appoint service providers for pharmacotherapy and behavioural support related to smoking cessation. The contract period was set for two years, with a possible two-year extension. Initially due by 6th June 2025, the tender submission deadline was extended to 16th June 2025. However, as of 9th July 2025, the council decided to abandon the process, citing non-compliance in received tenders, and thus no contracts were awarded. This tender presented a lucrative opportunity for pharmacies and service providers specialising in health services, particularly those focused on smoking cessation support. With contracts due to be awarded for multiple lots, including Nicotine Replacement Therapy and Behavioural Stop Smoking Support services, businesses in the health and community services sectors were encouraged to participate. Despite the abandonment of this specific tender, similar initiatives in public health services could offer substantial business growth opportunities, especially for those capable of addressing the criteria focused on quality and social value. ## Notice Herefordshire Council is seeking to appoint service providers (pharmacies) for both the Pharmacotherapy and the Stop Smoking Behavioural support services in Herefordshire.
