Abstract

This is a procurement carried out under the Provider Selection Regime 2023 - Route 3 Competitive Procedure

The Council is seeking to procure a single provider to complement the existing Local Stop Smoking Service, focusing solely on those that don't typically engage with the core service. The aim is to reduce the amount of people smoking through increasing engagement with smokers from priority groups (identified by The Council’s Tobacco Control Needs Assessment), in line with the conditions of the Local Stop Smoking Services and Support Grant 2024-2025.

List of priority groups this service will target:

• Routine and manual workers

• Long term sick and unemployed

• Social housing tenants

• People in the community with mental health issues

• Ethnic minority groups

• LGBTQ+ community

• People experiencing homelessness

• People supported by the Criminal Justice System

• Smokers in substance misuse treatment services

• Young people who smoke and vape (aged 12-25)

The overall aim of the Service is to increase the number of people quitting smoking in Kent by engaging and motivating individuals from priority groups to stop smoking.
