CWC19137 - Direct Payments : Support Services

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 arrangement will be for Direct Payments Support Service . Additional information is available within the specification and supporting documentation. Keywords: Direct, Payments, Support, Social
