Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council has initiated a tender process for a framework to supply Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products for their Stop Smoking Service. The council, situated in the East Midlands, is procuring services under the health and social work industry category, with a total contract value of GBP 902,479. This open procedure tender, currently in the active stage, invites suppliers to participate until 28th May 2025.

The contract will commence on 1st July 2025 and run until 31st March 2029. The opportunity is well-suited for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises, and encompasses two lots: bulk buy and direct-to-client delivery. This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities for providers specialising in health services and products, particularly those experienced in supplying NRT.

With the requirement to support upwards of 3,000 clients annually by year five, suppliers can benefit from ongoing demand and the potential to expand service offerings. Companies able to provide competitive pricing and effective logistics for both bulk and individual deliveries will be particularly well-positioned. This tender is also ideal for businesses keen on collaborating with local authorities to address public health challenges.

Notice Description

North Northamptonshire Council (NNC) is setting up a Framework of providers for the provision of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) for use with clients engaged with North Northamptonshire Council's Stop Smoking Service for an initial period of 45 months. North Northamptonshire stop smoking service includes a 12-week treatment plan incorporating NRT products, provided only to individuals aged 12 and above who are engaged in the stop smoking programme and receiving behavioural support with regular contact from a stop smoking advisor. The stop smoking service provides 12 weeks of support to local smokers and expects to work with 1,800 people per year in year one.

This is expected to gradually increase to 3,000 people per year in five years. Quitting smoking often requires multiple attempts, with stress and lack of supportive environments making the process more challenging. Local stop smoking services are up to three times more effective than unaided attempts or over the counter NRT.

Potential Suppliers are invited to tender for one or more of the LOTs. - Lot 1 - Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) - Bulk Buy - Lot 2 - Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) - Direct to Client Please visit the North Northamptonshire Council e-Procurement Portal (in-tendhost.co.uk/nnc/aspx/Home) to access the full tender documentation for this opportunity and submit a bid
