## Summary

North Northamptonshire Council procured nicotine replacement therapy products for clients using its Stop Smoking Service. The requirement covers direct-to-client supply of pharmaceutical products, supported by associated health and social work services. It is a public health supply and fulfilment requirement, rather than general medicines procurement. Delivery is for clients in North Northamptonshire. The council is the buying organisation and the work supports its local smoking cessation provision. The awarded requirement is identified as Lot 2 in the underlying framework, covering nicotine replacement therapy supplied directly to service users. Businesses operating in pharmaceutical distribution, nicotine replacement therapy supply, healthcare fulfilment or related public health services would find the subject matter relevant.

This procurement is complete: the contract was awarded to PHARMACEUTICALS DIRECT LTD and signed on 16 September 2026. The award and contract value is £544,459.37 excluding VAT, or £574,696.94 including VAT. The contract runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 March 2029, with an option to extend to 31 March 2030 subject to budget availability. The route was a competitive selective procedure, specifically a call-off under an existing framework. The award is active and the contract is active. The opportunity was evaluated through the framework call-off process, and one supplier was awarded the requirement. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and relates to the single completed lot for direct-to-client nicotine replacement therapy.

This award shows a council requirement for a supplier able to provide nicotine replacement therapy directly to clients of a stop smoking service, with pharmaceutical distribution and health-service fulfilment capabilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need dependable access to the relevant NRT product range, robust ordering and delivery processes, and the capacity to supply individual service users across North Northamptonshire. Experience of supporting public health or smoking cessation programmes would be directly relevant, as would the ability to work within a framework call-off and meet public sector governance, reporting and service-management expectations. The incumbent is recorded as an SME, indicating that delivery is commercially feasible for a specialist pharmaceutical supplier rather than only a large national organisation.
