Summary of the contracting process

Torbay Council has completed the tender process for creating a Standing List of Providers for the Children's Direct Payments (Payroll/Managed Account) Service, under the Administrative social services industry category. This procurement, executed using an open procedure below the threshold, focuses on providing payroll and managed services for direct payments in the South West region of the United Kingdom. This process involved selecting multiple suppliers, including David Howard Ltd and Disability Focus, with a contract value of £126,144. The contract commenced on 16th January 2023 and runs until 15th January 2025, following the tender period which ended on 14th December 2022.

This tender creates significant opportunities for providers of payroll and managed account services, particularly those within the small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) sector and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE). Businesses that can manage payroll, pension auto-enrolment, and liaise with the Inland Revenue while delivering exceptional customer service will find this contract especially lucrative. The service provision covers a crucial area of social and healthcare support, making it an attractive option for organizations with expertise in these fields looking to expand their service offerings in the public sector.
