## Summary

Renfrewshire Council commissioned a specialist, outcome-focused dementia day care service for people with dementia who live in the Renfrewshire area. The service is intended for people at different stages of dementia, including those with cognitive difficulties or complex needs that other services cannot meet, people needing support with dementia-related behaviours, and people experiencing social isolation. It also supports carers facing high levels of stress from their caring responsibilities. This is a health and social care service rather than a supply of goods or construction work, with delivery focused on day care and support for local residents and their carers.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Renfrewshire Council selected Alzheimer Scotland - Action on Dementia for the single lot. The contract is valued at £68,330.83 and was signed on 1 June 2026; no contract end date or duration is stated. The award followed a negotiated procedure without a prior call for competition, on the basis that the service could be provided only by a particular operator for technical reasons. The stated rationale was to maintain continuity for people already receiving support. One bid was recorded for the lot. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the available procurement details.

For a provider considering this buyer’s future dementia day care requirements, the award indicates demand for a specialist, outcome-focused service serving Renfrewshire residents across different stages of dementia. A credible competitor would need to show it can support people with cognitive difficulties, complex needs not met elsewhere, dementia-related behaviours and social isolation, while also recognising the pressures on carers. Continuity of support for existing service users was central to the stated rationale for this contract, so the ability to sustain established care relationships and deliver reliable local provision would be commercially relevant. The single recorded bid and negotiated route indicate that the buyer selected a particular operator rather than running an open competition; they do not establish what capabilities, qualifications or accreditations were assessed.
