This contract falls under the health and social work services category, focusing on delivering smoking cessation strategies within Manchester, specifically targeting diverse community groups in Trafford. Interested suppliers must submit their proposals by 3rd December 2025 at 12 noon. This tender is part of the Light Touch Regime, with the procurement stage currently marked as tender, and it invites submissions from VCSE organisations only. This tender represents a significant opportunity for VCSE organisations, such as non-profits and social enterprises, to engage in public health initiatives aimed at reducing smoking rates in targeted communities. Businesses with expertise in health outreach, community engagement, or smoking cessation methods would be well-suited for this opportunity. The contract holds potential for business growth by enabling organisations to expand their service offerings while having a measurable social impact, fulfilling both the financial and mission-driven goals of VCSEs. ## Notice Trafford Council is looking for a service to help roll out 'Stopping the start: The Government's Plan to Create a Smokefree Generation' . In October 2023, it was announced by Government that additional grant funding would be awarded to support local authority lead stop smoking services. The defining features of the service are: * The ability to identify and engage people who smoke and are living within Trafford. * The ability to deliver smoking cessation interventions to the population with the overall aim of reducing smoking rates. Trafford Council have already commissioned targeted projects for: * Care Leavers * Criminal Justice/Probation Service Users * Substance misuse clients * Homeless community * Unpaid carers In our third round of applications, with this funding, we are hoping to target the following population groups: * Deprived communities (targeted geographies in Trafford) * Gypsy, Irish Traveller and Roma Communities * Employers with higher smoking rates i.e. route and manual workers * Wider groups. Any other group you can show has higher smoking (or other tobacco products) rates than the general population Trafford Council is looking to target as many of these groups as possible and will look to allocate funds in a way that allows the maximum number of groups to be targeted. Procurement is being undertaken under the Light Touch Regime. Please note this tender will be restricted to VCSE organisations. This includes non-profits, charities, social enterprises, community interest companies or other organisations that prioritise social impact over profit. VCSE status of organisations will be checked as part of the evaluation process.
