*Please note, the deadline for this exercise has now been extended to 12:00 hours on 2nd September 2019* Leicester City Council will be leading a consortium of statutory bodies to plan and procure new services for people diagnosed with dementia and their carers.
Procurement is anticipated to take place in early 2020 for new services to be in place from 1st October 2020.
