## Summary

The contract for delivering Smoking Cessation Services has been awarded by East Suffolk Council, a regional authority based in Woodbridge, United Kingdom. This procurement process falls under the services category, specifically health and social work services (CPV: 85000000), and is situated in the UKH region. The procurement was conducted under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 due to urgent circumstances, thereby not following the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. The contract, beginning on 1 October 2025 and ending on 31 March 2027, involves 17 General Practices and Pharmacies across Suffolk, who will deliver services to adults and young people aged 12 and older. This procurement stage is the Award phase, and the contract was signed on several dates in September and October 2025.

This opportunity presents significant potential for local medical practices and pharmacies looking to expand their service offerings in health care, particularly in smoking cessation. By engaging in this contract, businesses can solidify their presence in the community while addressing public health needs. Suitable businesses for this tender include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger companies prepared to provide Nicotine Replacement Therapy and behavioural support following the NCSCT standard treatment programme. These enterprises will benefit not only financially, with each contract valued at £5,250, but also in reputation, as they become integral in supporting public health initiatives. The limited procurement method means engaging parties did not require prior competition publication, making it an advantageous opportunity for those who could respond promptly to the urgent tender requirements.
