Herefordshire Stop Smoking Services - Pharmacotherapy

Herefordshire Council is actively seeking to establish an approved list of accredited providers for their Stop Smoking Services - Pharmacotherapy initiative across Herefordshire. This procurement process, set within the health and social work services industry category, follows a selective procurement method via a restricted procedure. With a project value of £480,000, the contract is specifically designed to support the development of these essential health services.

The procurement stage is currently tagged as 'tender', and key milestones include the extension of the opportunity until 31st March 2025, with the tender period concluding on 31st December 2025. The location for service delivery is the West Midlands, United Kingdom, and early participation is encouraged to benefit from the extended contract period starting from 1st January 2026. Herefordshire Council operates from their offices in Hereford, with Aksana Hironak as the contact point for further communications.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses, notably those categorised as SMEs, as it invites any qualified providers to contribute to a public health priority. Companies specialising in pharmacotherapy and healthcare services with the capacity to offer comprehensive stop smoking interventions will find this tender highly relevant. The initiative's broad approach, akin to a Dynamic Purchasing System, allows ongoing entry, enabling new and established firms to collaborate over time.

Engaging in this contract not only opens doors to continued business with the local authority but also enhances the participating organisations' profiles within the health and social care sectors. The collaboration with Herefordshire Council provides businesses with the chance to engage in long-term service provision, fostering sustainable partnerships and impact-driven service development in the community.
