DHSC - Design packaging of tobacco, vapes and other nicotine products

What the buyer says

We are intending to procure a supplier to inform the development of future statutory instruments which will make use of new regulation-making powers included in the Tobacco and Vapes Act. The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking a provider to deliver a range of design work for external tobacco, vape and other nicotine product packaging. We have designed a market consultation questionnaire that we would encourage you to review and respond to, for our forthcoming potential procurement requirement. Please e-mail [email address on the official notice] to obtain a copy of this questionnaire quoting ‘DHSC - Design packaging of tobacco, vape and other nicotine products’. You should complete and return this document no later than 23:59 on Monday 24th August 2026. For the avoidance of doubt, this is not a call for competition and DHSC are under no obligation to proceed with any formal procurement procedure. The market engagement exercise is being used as an opportunity to gather feedback to better understand market capabilities, refine the procurement strategy, and encourage supplier engagement.
