Nicotine Replacement Therapy Supply Framework for North Northamptonshire Stop Smoking Service

North Northamptonshire Council is establishing a 45-month framework agreement to supply Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) products for its Stop Smoking Service. The service provides 12 weeks of integrated treatment and behavioral support to adults and young people aged 12 and above, with targets of 1,800 participants in year one, scaling to 3,000 annually by year five. Suppliers may bid for one or both available lots: Lot 1 (bulk purchase of NRT products) and Lot 2 (direct-to-client supply). This is an opportunity to support a high-impact public health initiative, as local stop smoking services with NRT are up to three times more effective than unaided quit attempts or over-the-counter alternatives. Successful suppliers will provide essential pharmaceutical products that enable participants to access evidence-based smoking cessation treatment with professional guidance.
