  • Stop Smoking Service

    This lot is for the delivery of a countywide Stop Smoking Service across Lincolnshire, providing evidence-based smoking cessation support that aligns with national policy objectives, Department of Health and Social Care funding requirements and local public health priorities. Funded through the consolidated and ringfenced smoking cessation grant, the service will offer behavioural support, access to cessation aids, digital interventions and targeted initiatives to help residents successfully quit smoking tobacco. The service will place a strong emphasis on reducing smoking-related health inequalities, increasing access for priority and underserved populations, and working collaboratively with health and community partners to maximise referrals and engagement. The service will also include a 'Swap to Stop' programme, with designated funding as part of the wider contract value, to support smokers to move away from tobacco use through alternative nicotine products where appropriate.
