Alzheimer's Scotland are recognised as specialists in this field and their service delivery is informed by years of experience working and engaging with those with dementia and their carers. The Early Onset and Dementia Cafe services offered are specialist in nature and there are few providers able to deliver this. Both contracts deliver advice, information and support to adults with dementia and their carers.

Therefore, it is proposed to combine the service specifications and award one contract. The contract value of 65,000 GBP per annum is considered good value and it is proposed to award the contract to Alzheimer's Scotland to ensure the same levels of service are provided for each aspect and performance and outcomes monitoring will ensure that the services continue to be delivered as they have been.
