The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Health and Care NHS Trust recently completed a procurement process for a "Dementia Advisor Service" in Worcestershire. Categorised under health and social work services, the process involved awarding a contract using a direct award method without prior publication. This procurement, tagged under services, was finalised with a contract signed on 1st April 2026. The contract, awarded to the Alzheimer’s Society, covers a six-month period and continues the existing service provision without significant changes.
