## Summary

Torbay Council is currently engaged in a procurement process for the "Standing List of Providers of Children's Direct Payments (Payroll/Managed Account) Service." This open tender is categorised under other community, social and personal services and is located in the South West region of the United Kingdom. The tender was officially published on 21 September 2018, with a submission deadline set for 31 October 2018. The total contract value is £110,000, covering a contract period from 30 November 2018 to 27 November 2020.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in payroll and managed services aimed at supporting individuals requiring assistance via Direct Payments. Businesses that serve the social care sector, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs), would be well-suited to apply, as there is no limit to the number of service providers that can be selected for the Standing List. However, it is important to note that while successful providers may be recommended to service users, contracts cannot be guaranteed solely based on their appointment to the list.

## Notice

Torbay Council's Children's Services' Direct Payments (DP) Service is undertaking this tender process, seeking payroll and managed service providers, who will be selected for a place on a Standing List of Providers of Children's Direct Payments (Payroll/Managed Account) Service, available for people to use, if they choose to do so*. Direct Payments are Social Care and Health payments for people who have been assessed as needing help from Children's Services, and who would like to arrange and pay for their own care and support services, instead of receiving them directly from the Local Authority. There is no limit to the number of Providers that will be selected to join the Standing List. Applicants should please note that the Local Authority can only recommend the service providers placed on the List, to current and future service users. But it is each service user's own decision on which payroll and managed service provider they wish to use. Therefore business use cannot be guaranteed to the successful providers, appointed to this Standing List*.
