26100 Smoking Cessation: Service for people with mental health challenges

Cambridgeshire County Council is seeking Market Engagement for its Smoking Cessation Services tailored for people experiencing mental ill health, including people with severe mental illness, who are significantly more likely to smoke than the general population and often face barriers to accessing mainstream stop smoking services. In view of the positive outcomes achieved through the current service model, we intend the future service to retain the core components of the existing approach while providing sufficient flexibility for the provider to apply their expertise, innovation and best practice in service delivery. The new contract is planned for an initial duration of 2 years, plus a potential 1-year extension period.

(Note, this is subject to change). Please note this is a procurement governed by the Provider Selection Regime (PSR) and is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023.
