Scope
Description
North Northamptonshire Council is commissioning a digital smoking cessation solution to support residents in their efforts to quit smoking.
This platform will complement the existing services delivered by the Council's Stop Smoking team, comprising of Stop Smoking Advisors and Stop Smoking Specialists who provide the primary smoking cessation support across the local authority area. The platform will target key demographics, particularly routine and manual workers, who face higher smoking prevalence rates
and may struggle to access traditional face-to-face services due to their working patterns or other constraints.
The council will purchase 1,000 licenses that will be distributed to clients over 2 years as well as funding the associated Nicotine Replacement Therapy and e-Cigarette costs that will
support users in their efforts to quit smoking. The app will provide clients with 12 weeks of stop smoking support.
