This procurement, currently in the planning stage as of 21st May 2026, seeks to re-establish these vital health services across Lincolnshire. The contracting authority is hosting an online market engagement event on 19th May 2026, intended to introduce the project scope and gather valuable input from potential service providers, scheduled to be completed by 27th May 2026. With an estimated contract value of £8.1 million over three years, this process will influence the commissioning strategy, aiming for a seamless service delivery starting from 1st April 2027 to 31st March 2030. This tender represents a significant growth opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) capable of contributing to public health improvement in Lincolnshire. Businesses with expertise in health services, particularly those experienced in digital and innovative solutions, are well-positioned to compete. Participation in the engagement process allows potential suppliers to influence the service delivery model and establish partnerships that leverage local geographical and demographic needs, thus enhancing competitiveness and paving the way for sustainable development in the region's health sector. ## Notice The procurement of these services will be subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) is planning to commission and procure countywide Stop Smoking and Falls Prevention services and is undertaking a pre-market engagement exercise to inform this process. The Council is seeking to raise awareness of this forthcoming opportunity and to better understand the market's views on a range of key issues. Feedback received will help shape the future commissioning approach, service delivery model, service specification, commercial arrangements, contract, and procurement process. As part of this engagement exercise, interested organisations are invited to complete a Market Engagement Questionnaire. There is no obligation to respond to all questions; however, contributions and the sharing of relevant knowledge and experience are warmly welcomed. Purpose of the Engagement To inform the future commissioning and procurement of two established public health services to ensure services continue to deliver effective, equitable outcomes across Lincolnshire whilst exploring opportunities to strengthen delivery through partnership working, innovation, and digital approaches, support improvements in population health and the reduction of health inequalities, recognising Lincolnshire's geography, demography, and priority populations. While the Council intends to recommission the services with the core scope largely unchanged, feedback from this engagement will directly inform decisions on future delivery. ### Planning Information NEW INFORMATION as of 21st May 2026 Please note that the PowerPoint presentation from the online event on the 19th May are now uploaded for everyone's reference Also appendix A & B are now available to download which align to question 4 of the questionnaire.
