What the buyer wants
Suffolk County Council is seeking suppliers for the postal supply of Nicotine Replacement Therapy products and smoking cessation prescription medications, including remote clinical consultations for the latter. The contract is for two years with a possible two-year extension, aiming to improve accessibility to smoking cessation aids.
Suffolk County Council (Public Health, Communities and Public Safety) are currently out to tender for the postal supply of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and smoking cessation prescription medication.
Smoking prevalence in Suffolk is currently estimated at 10.5%. The Council's ambition is to reduce this to 5% or below by 2030. NRT and prescribed smoking cessation medications are recognised as effective interventions to support people to quit smoking and remain an important element of the local stop smoking offer. The Council currently provides access to these products through a pharmacy-based pathway. However, not all clients are able to access participating pharmacies due to factors such as working hours, limited transport options or mobility issues. The Council is therefore exploring alternative delivery models to improve accessibility.
The procurement is split into two lots. Suppliers may bid for either lot individually or for both lots.
Lot 1 - Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
Supply a range of NRT products following referral from the Council's commissioned stop smoking service (FGS) and deliver products directly to clients using a reliable and secure postal service.
Lot 2 - Smoking cessation prescription medication
Undertake remote clinical consultations with clients referred by the stop smoking service to assess suitability for Varenicline or Cytisine and, where clinically appropriate, supply medication directly to clients using a reliable and secure postal service.
This opportunity is available in the 'Current Tenders' area of the portal. Interested parties are invited to express their interest to gain full access to the tender documentation.
The contract period is two years with an option to extend for up to a further two years.
The anticipated contract value (including the extension period) is approximately £400,000 (approximately £100,000 per annum) excluding VAT.
The deadline date for submissions of the tender is 3rd November 2026 at 11am. Please note late returns will NOT be permitted.
The deadline for clarification questions is 20th October 2026 which must be generated via the correspondence option on the website.
