The contract awarded to Alzheimer Scotland became active as of 1st April 2026 and is valued at £481,056.

Businesses specialising in health services for older adults, particularly those offering dementia care, will find growth opportunities through this contract. The contract is suitable for organisations that can provide personalised care and support to individuals with complex health and learning disabilities.
