A national financial incentives programme is required to further enhance the evidence based support ([nice.org.uk](https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng209/chapter/Recommendations-on-treating-tobacco-dependence-in-pregnant-women)) available to pregnant women who are accessing stop smoking interventions, and increase the number achieving a smokefree pregnancy. This will involve establishing and managing a system of issuing vouchers to women registered with the scheme, training and support for participating maternity stop smoking teams, data collection, audit and evaluation. It will require close working with the maternity services and local authority public health teams who provide stop smoking support for pregnant women. Potential suppliers should ideally have experience in both maternity and stop smoking interventions. Intended contract term: 1st October 2023 - 31st March 2025 Estimated contract value: £7,000,000.00 exclusive of VAT which includes the costs of the vouchers to be distributed.
