## Summary

Portsmouth City Council procured the supply of e-cigarettes and e-liquids for Portsmouth Wellbeing Service, to support its smoking cessation service. This is a goods requirement involving vaping products and related consumables, for use in Portsmouth. The buyer is Portsmouth City Council, a local public authority, and the service requirement is centred on helping people stop smoking. The procurement was organised as a single requirement rather than a visibly separated range of products or services. Businesses relevant to this opportunity would therefore be manufacturers, wholesalers or specialist distributors able to supply e-cigarettes and e-liquids for a council-supported smoking cessation programme, with the operational ability to deliver the required products for use by the wellbeing service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the specific method recorded as unknown. PILLBOX38 (UK) LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and has a contract period from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2029. Its gross value is £100,000. The contract is active and the award is active. The requirement was treated as goods, with the classified product area covering food, beverages, tobacco and related products. The contracting process was for Portsmouth City Council’s Portsmouth Wellbeing Service. The available outcome records identify the selected supplier and contract terms, but do not set out a separate scoring breakdown or named evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for e-cigarettes and e-liquids as part of a structured smoking cessation service. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable access to suitable vaping products, dependable wholesale or manufacturing capacity, and the ability to supply consistently to a public-sector wellbeing service. Product range, stock continuity, order fulfilment and delivery arrangements would be commercially important because the requirement supports an ongoing service rather than a one-off purchase. Suppliers should also be able to operate through a below-threshold council procurement route and present a clear, compliant offer for the specified product category. Businesses already supplying vaping products to health, wellbeing or other institutional customers would be well placed to assess this buyer’s recurring need.
