Framework
An agreement that sets terms for work the buyer may order later, often from several suppliers. The value shown usually covers the whole agreement, not one job.
Open for bids / closing date
You must submit by the closing date and time, normally through the buyer's own online portal. Late bids are normally refused.
Clarification questions
A deadline for asking the buyer questions about the tender. It is earlier than the closing date.
Conditions of participation
What the buyer asks suppliers to show before they can be considered, such as experience, insurance or accreditations.
Bids are scored on
How the buyer will compare bids, usually a split between price and quality. A 60/40 split in favour of quality means the cheapest bid will not necessarily win.
Lots
A tender can be split into parts. You can often bid for only the lots that suit you.
Area (ITL)
The buyer names an official statistical area for where the work is, not a street address. Check the tender documents for the actual sites.
UK4 and other notice codes

Description

Waltham Forest's specialist stop smoking service will be based on the existing contract to build on the success we have seen to date. The provider will continue to deliver a community stop smoking service, free at the point of delivery to a wide eligible cohort of smokers. The service will offer both face to face and remote options with behavioral support alongside combination nicotine replacement therapy, nicotine vapes and stop smoking medication, Professionals and community support partners will continue to receive very brief advice training so they can refer and/or signpost potential clients to the service. The existing contract included provision of vapes fully funded from the DHSC swap to stop pilot with prescribed stop smoking medication funded separately from an additional allocation of PH grant. We will be looking to include the cost of all elements of stop smoking aids including nicotine replacement therapy, prescribed medication and vapes within the overall contract value. This will avoid any in year cost pressure from un-invoiced activity and provide a high degree of financial certainty.
