PP17095 - Direct Payments Support Service and Payroll Service

Tender description

Direct Payments are cash payments made to individuals who have been assessed as being eligible for funded care and support in line with the Care Act (2014) eligibility criteria; they are intended to give individuals greater choice in their care as they enable individuals to choose not to receive services purchased by The City of Wolverhampton Council (“The Council”) instead choosing to receive a payment in lieu of these to arrange their own support. Some individuals require support to understand and fulfil the responsibilities attached to Direct Payment. The Council therefore wants to commission a range of elements that will come together to make up our Direct Payment Service. This support will be divided into two main elements that may be provided by a sole Provider or by different Providers. The Services will be in Two LOTS: • LOT ONE - Direct Payments Support Service • LOT TWO - Payroll Service (including Third Party Supported Accounts / Managed Accounts) Keywords: Direct Payments, Payroll
