Hampshire County Council Public Health team in collaboration with Isle of Wight Public Health seek to procure a holistic stop smoking service for adults and young people. The aim of the service is to provide a comprehensive Smoking Cessation Service that contributes to the reduction in the prevalence of tobacco use and its associated health impact. 

Hampshire County Council & Isle of Wight Council (The Council's) currently commissions separate Stop Smoking Services which support over 4000 people each year to quit smoking with the help of trained specialists. The aim of these services is to reduce smoking and its associated health risks in the local population. The delivery of the current Stop Smoking Services expires on 31st March 2025.

The Council's will be looking to recommission expanded specialist smoking cessation services, including a nicotine reduction service for those wishing to stop all nicotine use, to maximise the support provided by the recently awarded Local Stop Smoking and Support Grant. Key components of the service include personalised quit plans, one-to-one counselling, group support sessions, and the provision of nicotine replacement therapies or prescribed medications.

As part of the process, we are looking to engage with potential suppliers of this forthcoming opportunity and engage with the market to inform our planned procurement in September 2024. We welcome feedback on the design of this service through completion of a market engagement questionnaire (see the Synopsis button).
