Published requirement description

Public Health Wales are inviting suitably qualified digital suppliers to submit proposals for the licensing and, where necessary, further development of an existing smoking cessation application. The objective is to adapt the application to meet the specific needs of smokers in Wales and to ensure alignment with NHS Wales Smoking Cessation Services (Help Me Quit).
