## Summary

Renfrewshire Council commissioned a specialist dementia day-care service for people with dementia living in Renfrewshire. The service is intended to provide support shaped around individual outcomes for people at different stages of dementia. It serves people with cognitive difficulties or complex needs that other services cannot meet, people who need help with behaviours associated with dementia, and people who are socially isolated or have limited contact with friends, family or other networks. It also supports people whose carers are experiencing high levels of stress. The work is delivered in Renfrewshire and sits within health and social care services. The requirement centres on specialist day support for people with dementia and continuity for those already receiving support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Alzheimer Scotland; the contract is active. Renfrewshire Council used a negotiated procedure without a prior call for competition, under a limited procedure. The stated reason was to maintain continuity for people already accessing support, with the procurement rationale also citing the health and social care contracting rules. The service had one bid. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026, with a contract value of £341,654. The published procurement information does not state the contract period or an award date. The procurement was arranged as one lot, with no option for additional purchases recorded. The award route was justified on the basis that technical reasons meant the service could be provided only by a particular operator.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Renfrewshire Council, this award shows demand for a specialist dementia day service focused on individual outcomes and continuity for existing service users. A credible provider would need to demonstrate practical experience supporting people across different stages of dementia, including those with cognitive difficulties, complex needs or dementia-related behaviours. The service also requires the ability to address social isolation and to support people whose carers are under significant stress. Providers should be able to explain how their day service can meet needs that other services cannot, while maintaining continuity of support. The selected supplier was Alzheimer Scotland, and the route used relied on a particular operator being able to provide the service for technical reasons.
