Provision of Smoking Cessation Service.
The opportunity concerns the planned provision of a smoking cessation service for the London Borough of Waltham Forest, a local authority responsible for public services and local public health commissioning. This notice is a market engagement exercise rather than a formal tender and seeks provider input to shape the future service specification and delivery model. The eventual service is expected to support smoking cessation, contribute to reducing health inequalities, meet local population needs, and identify opportunities for integrated and innovative delivery, with detailed requirements to be defined in the ITT documentation. No estimated contract value, contract duration, or delivery locations are specified in the available information, although the commissioning focus is Waltham Forest. The key participation requirement is completion of the attached Market Engagement Questionnaire, while formal eligibility, certification, and qualification requirements for any future procurement have not yet been published.

From the official notice
Waltham Forest's specialist stop smoking service will be based on the existing contract to build on the success we have seen to date. The provider will continue to deliver a community stop smoking service, free at the point of delivery to a wide eligible cohort of smokers. The service will offer both face to face and remote options with behavioral support alongside combination nicotine replacement therapy, nicotine vapes and stop smoking medication, Professionals and community support partners will continue to receive very brief advice training so they can refer and/or signpost potential clients to the service. The existing contract included provision of vapes fully funded from the DHSC swap to stop pilot with prescribed stop smoking medication funded separately from an additional allocation of PH grant. We will be looking to include the cost of all elements of stop smoking aids including nicotine replacement therapy, prescribed medication and vapes within the overall contract value. This will avoid any in year cost pressure from un-invoiced activity and provide a high degree of financial certainty.
