## Summary

The East Riding of Yorkshire Council is currently in the planning stage for a public procurement process titled "Stop Smoking Vaping As A Quit Aid" aimed at supporting local smoking cessation programmes. This contract will belong to the services industry category, specifically focused on health services and nicotine substitutes. The market engagement phase, seeking expressions of interest, is scheduled to close on 14 August 2026, with the main procurement activities expected to commence at a later date. The procurement will take place in the UK region UKE, with an estimated total contract value of approximately £75,000 excluding VAT for a proposed 1+1+1 contract structure. Interested parties should aim to exhibit independence from the tobacco industry and compliance with insurance requirements, as stated by the contracting authority.

This procurement process provides significant opportunities for businesses in the health services sector, particularly those that supply nicotine substitutes and related support services. SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) with capabilities in providing online voucher platforms, home delivery for approved vaping products, and training for smoking cessation practitioners are well-suited to compete. Engaging in this process can lead to business growth by establishing long-term partnerships with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. Although participation in this market engagement is voluntary, it offers valuable insight into the capabilities needed and does not affect future procurement chances.
