This initiative is focused on the accounting services industry, specifically within payroll management services, and is located in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, United Kingdom. The engagement end date for expressions of interest is set for 23rd February 2018, with a market engagement notice published on 7th June 2017. Interested parties are invited to a market warming event scheduled for 13th June 2017 at Wolverhampton Art Gallery, providing an opportunity for potential suppliers to gain insights into the council's commissioning intentions. This procurement presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in accounting and payroll management services. Companies that are particularly suited to participate include those with experience in providing direct payment support services, as well as personnel and payroll services. The council is using this market warming exercise to gather information on market capabilities, which may inform future tendering processes. This initiative not only allows businesses to engage with the council but also enables them to influence upcoming proposals and service specifications. ## Notice 1.1 The City of Wolverhampton Council invites expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced organisations wishing to tender for the provision of Direct Payments Support Service and Payroll Service to support and enable current and potential Direct Payments recipients to take up and successfully manage Direct Payments. 1.2 The aim of this Market Warming opportunity is to provide an outline of our commissioning intentions to potential service providers and to understand the market's scope of interest and capabilities, before finalising the commissioning strategy for the future of Direct Payments Support Service and Payroll Service. The information gathered from this exercise will help shape future proposals including any potential tendering process and associated service specification. 1.3 This exercise is not part of any pre-qualification or selection process. It is intended as an awareness, communication and information-gathering exercise, offering an opportunity for potential providers to understand the commissioning intention. 1.4 This therefore does not represent a commitment from the City of Wolverhampton Council to award a contract or an invite to tender to any provider that expresses an interest in this market warming exercise.
