This initiative falls under the health services industry category and aims to deliver evidence-based, drug-free seminars to assist individuals in stopping smoking. The process is governed by the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023, and the contract is expected to run from 1st March 2026 to 28th February 2027, with opportunities for extensions.
