To approve a two-year extension to the Community
Tobacco Dependence Treatment Service contract, allowing the current
service to continue until 31st March 2028

Reasons for the decision

The current CTDTS, delivered by
South West Yorkshire Foundation
Partnership Trust (SWYFPT), has demonstrated outstanding
performance, with referrals nearly doubling and a 121% increase in
12-week quit outcomes since the contract began.
 
The service has been especially
effective at reaching and supporting priority and vulnerable
groups, with 97% of successful quitters in 2024/25 coming from
these communities (including those in deprived areas, people with
mental health conditions, and other high-risk groups).
 
Extending the contract will
ensure continuity of a highly effective service, avoiding
disruption that could jeopardise the impact of additional
government funding allocated to reduce smoking prevalence in
Sheffield.
 
The extension supports the
delivery of Sheffield’s 2022–2027 Tobacco Control
Strategy and the ambition to make smoking obsolete by 2030, by
reducing adult prevalence to 5% across all social
groups.
