## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR EDINBURGH DAY OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE DIAGNOSED WITH YOUNG ONSET DEMENTIA". This contract falls under the services industry category, specifically focusing on daycare services. The procurement stage is marked as 'complete', with the contract awarded on 23rd June 2021, amounting to £361,504. The service specifically targets individuals under 65 who have been diagnosed with young onset dementia, ensuring stability for both service users and the provider amid the ongoing challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for organisations specialising in health and social care services, particularly those focusing on dementia care. Providers who can offer innovative support solutions and demonstrate an understanding of the unique needs of young onset dementia patients would be well-positioned to compete for future contracts. The current contractor, Alzheimer Scotland, has established itself in this area, indicating a competitive landscape for businesses looking to expand their services in health care within the Edinburgh region.

## Notice

Young onset dementia day opportunities services are for people under the age of 65 who have a diagnosis of dementia. The service also supports the families, carers and friends of those diagnosed. People diagnosed with dementia under the age of 65 (often referred to as young onset dementia) may experience similar symptoms of dementia to those diagnosed in later life but will have different areas of need and require different types of support .

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This requirement had been previously published as part of Day Opportunities Framework in January 2020. No bids were received for the Young Onset Lot. During the pandemic Alzheimer Scotland (the Incumbent provider) has been pro-active in continuing community outreach service provision, phone and online support within the constraints of current Scottish Government COVID -19 national guidance. Further work is required to allow time to shape future commissioning requirements and service model development through co-production with key stakeholders. Awarding this interim contract will provide stability to the people requiring the service and to the provider.
