Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Brain Health and Dementia Resource Centre" has been initiated by West Dunbartonshire Council. This process focuses on social work and related services for older adults diagnosed with dementia, offering post-diagnostic support through dedicated link workers. Located in UKM81, the procurement is in the award stage as of 22nd April 2026, with the contract awarded to Alzheimer's Scotland for a value of £481,056. The procurement method was limited, meaning it was carried out without a prior call for competition, and signifies the completion of the tender process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in social work services, particularly those specialising in elderly care and dementia support. Organisations capable of providing residential short breaks or those involved in assisting adults with learning disabilities and complex health needs could significantly benefit from such contracts. Given the nature of the service specification, care providers with expertise in supporting individuals with acquired brain injuries or life-limiting conditions are well-suited to compete for similar opportunities in the future within the West Dunbartonshire region.
