This contract focuses on providing support and engagement services for individuals experiencing mental health difficulties, including the role of a Lochee Hub Co-ordinator, within the Dundee region. Initiated through a limited procurement method, the award procedure did not require prior publication, as the contract was a specialist service provision monitored and continued as a rolling contract.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses operating in the social care sector, particularly those specialising in mental health services.
