The Scottish Government (SG), (the purchaser) on behalf of the Scottish Ministers, wishes to commission a study of need and unmet need for adult social care support in Scotland.

The study will also provide estimates of the costs of meeting adult social care support needs and the workforce required to deliver this, as well as an assessment of the potential for reducing adult social care support costs through increased investment in prevention and early intervention.
