Supply of carbon monoxide monitors to community stop smoking service providers

Birmingham City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the "Supply of carbon monoxide monitors to community stop smoking service providers" across Birmingham, United Kingdom. This procurement, under the main category of goods, was managed through an open, below-threshold competition. The contract, active as of 17th November 2025 and set to end by 30th September 2027, centres around equipping local smoking cessation services, including pharmacies and GP practices, with CO monitors and necessary components such as mouthpieces.

The awarded supplier, Intermedical UK Ltd, will provide the devices, deliver training for effective use and interpretation of data, and ensure regular maintenance of the equipment. The contract was valued at £56,740 (gross amount £68,088), providing a strategic enhancement to the council's health services initiatives. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in the manufacturing and servicing of medical equipment, particularly those specialising in patient monitoring systems and related consumables.

With a focus on reducing smoking-related harm in the community, the contract requires comprehensive service provision, including distribution, training, and equipment maintenance. Such requirements suggest that businesses capable of delivering a holistic solution, including technical maintenance and healthcare professional training, would be well-suited to engage in future tenders. For large suppliers, or those looking to expand operations into regional medical equipment provision, participation in similar procurement processes could drive substantial business growth and network expansion within the public health sector.
