This contract falls under the health and social work services category and is specifically focused on services within Aberdeen City. The procurement method utilised was limited, with awards made without prior publication due to the absence of competition, as services are provided by particular economic operators for technical reasons.

Notable suppliers for this contract include Care Concern Group, Renaissance Care Ltd, and Barchester Healthcare, among others.
