## Summary

The public procurement contracting process for the "Dementia Training for Tier 2 Social Care Workforce - Scoping Project" was initiated by the Department of Health, with the contract awarded to the Social Care Institute for Excellence. This project falls under the training services category and has a contract value of £32,385. The procurement method was a direct approach involving a single tender action below the threshold, and the tender period concluded on 16 July 2018, with the contract period running from 17 July 2018 to 31 October 2018.

## Notice

Published for Transparency. To commission a provider to undertake a scoping project to come to a conclusion on identifying achievable and financially realistic options for relatively rapid upskilling of the social care workforce in relation to dementia. It will, given the size of this workforce and the way in which it is deployed, allow testing of whether the most likely cost-effective solution is a 'blended' offer - combining a digital training offer with a degree of face-to-face support.
