Mr Tice will stand in Boston and Skegness in Lincolnshire, where Conservative MP Matt Warman had a majority of 25,621 in the 2019 general election.
Reform currently has one MP, Lee Anderson, who defected from the Tories in March.
"Contrary to what all the commentators say, the likes of my good friend Lee Anderson and myself, we are going to win seats," Mr Tice told the party's campaign launch in London.
He played down Mr Farage's decision, saying he would "be helping out significantly" during the election campaign.
The GB News presenter is cancelling his show on the channel for the duration to free up time for campaigning.

Nothing to do with this, then?

Warning to broadcasters who use politicians as presenters in election programming
With a General Election due to take place before 25 January 2025, we are also sounding a warning to broadcasters to maintain the highest level of due impartiality, in line with our enhanced rules that apply during election periods. Any breaches of election programming rules are likely to be serious and to result in Ofcom considering the imposition of statutory sanctions.
In particular, broadcasters are reminded that Rule 6.6 of the Code prohibits candidates in UK elections from acting as news presenters, interviewers or presenters of any type of programme during the election period. Politicians who are not standing as candidates in a UK election can present non-news programmes - including current affairs - during election periods, provided that programme complies with all relevant Code rules.
