North Northamptonshire Council seeks a supplier for the provision of Nicotine Replacement Therapy as part of the offer of support for people to stop smoking. The North Northamptonshire stop smoking service includes the use of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) to form part of the treatment plan for service users as part of their 12 week treatment programme. These products will only be given to service users who are signed up to the North Northamptonshire stop smoking programme and are engaged with the service for up to 12 weeks and are receiving behavioural intervention with regular contact from a stop smoking advisor. The stop smoking programme intends to support service users to quit smoking entirely. NRT will only be provided to persons over the age of 12 years old. The Council is appointing multiple providers to a Framework Agreement, in order that they may provide a range of NRT products to enable customer choice. The award of the contract will be for an initial 36 months, with an option to extend for a further 12 months, making 48 months in total.
