## Summary

Walsall Council has concluded the procurement process for a Framework Agreement aimed at providing Direct Payment Support Services, valued at £1,220,000 with a minimum value of £915,000. The project, classified under the Health and Social Work Services category, encompasses delivering various support services that empower eligible adults and children with monetary payments from the Council. The award of this contract was published on 15th February 2022, with the contract period set to commence on 1st April 2022 and concluding on 31st March 2025. The procurement method utilised was an open procedure with the tender period having ended on 28th October 2021.

This opportunity can significantly foster business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in health and social services, administrative social services, or social work. Companies capable of providing innovative direct payment solutions or those experienced in supporting individuals with direct payment schemes would be well-positioned to engage competitively. The involvement of large suppliers in the award process indicates the potential for collaboration or subcontracting opportunities for smaller firms looking to expand their service offerings within this sector.
