Universal Community Stop Smoking Service

Tender description

Barnsley Council wishes to commission a stop smoking service that will be provided by a single or lead provider. The service prevents people from smoking, assisting people to quit, and protect people from harms caused by second-hand smoke. Lot 1: Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council intends to award this contract to the existing provider of the service, South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (SWYPFT). This is a Provider Selection Regime (PSR) intention to award notice, following Direct Award Process C. 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 publication of this notice marks the start of the standstill period. Representations by providers must be made by 22 January 2025. This contract has not yet formally been awarded; this notice serves as an intention to award under the PSR.
