Description

We would like to bring to your attention an exciting new opportunity to develop a specialised smoking cessation service within Croydon.

Smoking is the single largest preventable cause of multiple health inequalities, particularly relevant in Croydon.

Smoking prevalence is higher in certain priority group populations: Homeless Alcohol and drug misuse Severe mental illness

These priority group populations are underserved, with studies finding that rather than being less motivated to quit smoking, individuals in these populations find it more difficult and require more support. These groups are excluded from Croydon's current smoking cessation provision delivered via the Live Well service.

The current evidence base, NICE guidelines and learning from existing tobacco dependency services treating people with complex needs shows that to best support the needs of these populations, a specialist service should be commissioned

The council is looking to commission a provider to deliver a smoking cessation service for underserved priority groups: Severe Mental Illness, Homeless, Substance Misuse. The service would be required to be located in Croydon, as well providing community outreach services within the borough.

Additional information: This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intended approach notice. The awarding of this contract is subject to the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 do not apply to this award.

The Award decision maker will be the Corporate Director for the Assistant Chief Executives Department.

The intention is to award a contract using the most suitable provider process.
