Published requirement description

This Procurement is being conducted in accordance with the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023 using the competitive process (regulations 6(7) & 11).

Smoking remains a leading cause of preventable illness and premature death. Employees in routine and manual occupations in Wolverhampton have a significantly higher smoking prevalence, compared to the general population.

The aim of this service is to support employees within SMEs in Wolverhampton to successfully quit smoking through a structured, evidence-based cessation programme.

Delivering targeted smoking cessation support directly within Small and Medium Enterprise (SMEs) settings provides an opportunity to:

  • Reduce health inequalities
  • Improve workforce health and productivity
  • Decrease sickness absence
  • Support organisational wellbeing cultures
  • This service aims to provide an accessible, proactive, and engaging smoking cessation intervention tailored to SME environments.

This tender is split into 4 lots as follows:

  • Lot 1 - Blakenhall
  • Lot 2 - Pendeford
  • Lot 3 - Wednesfield
  • Lot 4 - Bilston

Each lot is valued at £30,000.
