## Summary

The procurement process titled "Smoking Cessation" was initiated by Trafford Council, a regional authority located in Manchester, United Kingdom. This process falls under the health services category, with a CPV code of 85100000, and is part of a service-based procurement. The procurement, completed on 20th May 2026, involved a limited method, bypassing the publication of a prior call for competition due to the absence of competition for technical reasons. The contract was awarded to Allan Carr's Easy Way, based in London, for a value of £64,000. The programme focuses on drug-free smoking cessation through group seminars, which can be attended in person or online, aiming to address psychological dependency on smoking.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in health services, particularly those with expertise in non-pharmacological intervention programmes. It is an ideal fit for companies capable of delivering innovative, accessible, and supportive solutions within the community health sector. Firms experienced in offering remote and in-person seminars, along with ongoing participant support through digital communication, are well-suited to compete in similar contracts. Engaging in such tenders can help businesses establish a foothold in public health initiatives while contributing to community wellbeing and expanding their service offerings.

## Notice

The smoking cessation programme delivered through group seminars that smokers can attend in person or online. The approach focuses on changing the smoker's mindset by addressing the psychological dependence on cigarettes rather than relying on medication, nicotine replacement products, or willpower alone. During the seminar, trained facilitators guide participants through a structured method that aims to remove the desire to smoke, making quitting feel easier and less stressful. Following the session, participants can access shorter online back-up seminars, as well as email, text, and phone call support as needed.
