Summary of the contracting process

The West Lothian Health and Social Care Partnership (WLHSCP) has awarded a contract for support services to individuals living with Alzheimer's in West Lothian. The procurement, classified under health and social work services, is part of the WLHSCP Commissioning Plan for Older People 2019-2023. The contract, awarded to Alzheimer Scotland, is valued at £520,000 for a four-year term starting from 1 April 2022, with the possibility of extending for an additional four years. The procurement method was a limited direct award, and the process was initiated on 4 February 2022, with the aim of ensuring timely care delivery in local communities.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in health and social services, particularly those knowledgeable about dementia support and community-based care. Companies that focus on providing direct services or resources for Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers would be especially well-suited to compete in future tenders of this nature. The involvement of local small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the delivery of care services may enhance service diversity and community engagement, contributing positively to business growth in the sector.
