LBN - Specialist Stop Smoking Service

A Meet the Buyer's Webinar event has been scheduled to discuss Newham Council's plans for a Specialist Stop Smoking Service.

LBN is planning to implement the Specialist Stop Smoking service in response to learnings from the Covid response and would like to invite you to an online Market Engagement session to discuss our plans and hear your views. It is intended the service will be procured this financial year with an estimated contract start date in November 2020. This is not an invitation to tender.

Details of organisations attending the Events will be shared with everyone attending as well as published with Invitation to Tender documents.

Organisations will also be given the opportunity to ask commissioners any questions. If organisations have any immediate questions then please contact Kieran Scott (details below) and the commissioners can address this at the Event. All questions and answers will be shared with attendees of the Event.

The Meet the Buyers Event will inform the Service Specification and key outcomes as well as the procurement process. The Specialist Stop Smoking Service will inform elements of the IHWS plans.

Description of the procurement:

The Council would like the contract to commence in November 2020 and is considering a one year contract, with the option to extend for one further year.
