PEP PH Bristol Specialist Smoking Cessation Service

Bristol City Council is planning to award a contract for the "PEP PH Bristol Specialist Smoking Cessation Service," which falls under the category of services provided by medical personnel. This procurement aims to commission a high-quality, person-centred smoking cessation service to support Bristol residents in quitting smoking, contributing to the broader tobacco control strategy and reducing health inequalities. The procurement method used is an open procedure, and key dates include the standstill period ending on 17th April 2025.

Representations must be made by this date, and the current service contract ends on 30th June 2025. The total value of the contract is £3,562,500, and the service provider will work collaboratively with partners to ensure comprehensive support and interventions. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for medical service providers, particularly those specializing in smoking cessation and public health services.

Large-scale providers with experience in delivering evidence-based health interventions are well-suited to compete, given the rigorous criteria focused on price (20%), quality (70%), and social value (10%). Businesses that can deliver high-quality, bespoke interventions and manage accurate and timely data reporting, as required by the Department of Health and Social Care, will have a competitive edge in this tender process. The selected supplier, Solutions 4 Health, exemplifies the kind of organisation capable of meeting these high standards.
