North Northamptonshire Council - Provision of Digital Smoking Cessation Platform
Overview
Summary, notice description and lot information
North Northamptonshire Council, a sub-central public authority, has awarded a contract for the provision of a digital smoking cessation platform aimed at supporting local residents to quit smoking. This initiative, titled "North Northamptonshire Council - Provision of Digital Smoking Cessation Platform," is classified under the health and social work services industry category and will be implemented within the UKF25 region. The procurement stage for this project is complete, with the contract having been signed on 10th March 2025.
The contract duration extends until 28th February 2027, with a gross contract value of GBP 331,380. This procurement process was conducted via a direct method below the threshold, hence without competition, and involves the distribution of 1,000 licenses over two years alongside funding for associated support costs. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in health technology and digital platforms, particularly those specialising in smoking cessation solutions.
Companies that provide innovative digital health interventions can leverage this model to demonstrate their effectiveness in helping individuals quit smoking. While the current contract has been awarded to SmokeFree, a small to medium-sized enterprise based in Durham, similar opportunities can arise for businesses that align with public health priorities and can offer scalable, user-friendly solutions tailored to public sector needs. Engaging in such contracts can substantially enhance a business's profile and offer avenues for collaboration with public health authorities.
North Northamptonshire Council is commissioning a digital smoking cessation solution to support residents in their efforts to quit smoking. This platform will complement the existing services delivered by the Council's Stop Smoking team, comprising of Stop Smoking Advisors and Stop Smoking Specialists who provide the primary smoking cessation support across the local authority area. The platform will target key demographics, particularly routine and manual workers, who face higher smoking prevalence rates and may struggle to access traditional face-to-face services due to their working patterns or other constraints.
The council will purchase 1,000 licenses that will be distributed to clients over 2 years as well as funding the associated Nicotine Replacement Therapy and e-Cigarette costs that will support users in their efforts to quit smoking. The app will provide clients with 12 weeks of stop smoking support.
