## Summary

West Sussex County Council has completed a public procurement process for a contract titled "WSCC - Smoking Prescribing", aimed at providing Varenicline and Cytisinicline (Cytisine) prescribing for Smokefree West Sussex service users. The contract is classified under the health and social work services category and is located in the United Kingdom, specifically in the UKJ2 region. Initiated as a tender, the procurement followed a direct award method, citing the absence of competition and was part of a special light-touch regime. The contract, valued at £800,000 GBP, will run from 3rd July 2026 to 14th June 2029, with the award notice published on 1st July 2026. The supplier awarded the contract, Alliance For Better Care CIC, is a large-scale enterprise based in Horley, United Kingdom.

This tender presents an opportunity for business growth, particularly for companies operating in the healthcare and social services sectors. While the contract was directly awarded to Alliance For Better Care CIC, businesses that are small and medium enterprises (SMEs) may find relevance in understanding the procurement requirements and the special cases that led to the direct award. Engaging in future tenders related to the health services industry, similar to this completed process, could be beneficial for businesses looking to establish or expand their presence in health-related public contracts, especially within the United Kingdom’s sub-central government frameworks.
