The contract values is up to a maximum value of £10,500,000 for a potential maximum contract term of 5 years (3 years with an option to extend for a period or periods of up to 2 years). Prior to starting the procurement, the Council is inviting organisations who have an interest in, and experience of, delivering such services to improve the public's health, to a market engagement event to consider :- • Our proposed stop smoking service model and priority areas. • The outcomes we seek and pricing models that support these. • Areas potential providers see as areas of risk. • What (if any) elements of the proposed model could hinder productive engagement with the market. This is an opportunity to influence and shape the future delivery of the service. The event will be held Tuesday 8th January 2019, 2-4pm in the Mitchell Room, Podium Level, Hampshire County Council, E2 Court, Winchester, SO23 8UJ.
