## Description
Islington Council is commissioning providers to deliver its Community Pharmacy Smoking Cessation Locally Commissioned Service (LCS) under the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) - Direct Award Process B.
This service offers structured support to smokers who wish to quit, delivered by trained professionals in community pharmacy settings. Providers will be expected to deliver a stop smoking intervention consisting of six one-to-one behavioural support sessions, including the supply of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT). At least one session (the quit date) must be delivered face-to-face, and all sessions must align with the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training (NCSCT) standard treatment programme (updated October 2019).
The contract will operate on an activity-based payment model:
£40 per client for assessment, registration, and quit date (subject to outcome recording).
£10 per client for those lost to follow-up.
£40 per client still smoking at 4 weeks post quit date.
£70 per client who quits at 4 weeks (self-reported or CO verified).
This notice confirms that preliminary market engagement has taken place via direct Expression of Interest (EOI) letters sent to eligible community pharmacies. All providers who meet the requirements and submit a completed EOI form will be awarded a contract.
