## Summary

Wolverhampton City Council has announced the extension of the contract for the CWC19137 Direct Payments Support Service. This service falls under the category of 'Other community, social and personal services' and is aimed at facilitating the delivery of Personal Budgets to adults eligible for funded care and support as per the Care Act (2014). The contract, originally scheduled to end on 16th October 2024, has been extended for an additional five months and fifteen days, now closing on 31st March 2025. This extension period allows for the completion of a new tender exercise. The service is primarily located in the Wolverhampton area (region UKG39).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in social care support and personal budget management services. Firms capable of providing high-quality advice, information, and signposting for individuals managing their own care budgets stand to benefit from this procurement process. The procurement method is direct contract extension, making it ideal for experienced vendors already familiar with local authority processes and requirements. As the current supplier, Barrie Bookkeeping's involvement underscores the scale and importance of the service, highlighting a valuable growth opportunity for similar large-scale service providers in this sector.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The Care Act (2014) places a duty on all local authorities to ensure that every adult assessed as being eligible for funded care and support can access a Personal Budget (PB), which is sufficient to meet their assessed needs. Direct Payments (DP) are the established route by which an individual can receive their allocated budget if they prefer to arrange their own support rather than receive a commissioned service. The DP Support Service enables access to information, advice, and signposting. The current Direct Payment Support service contract is being varied for a further five months 15 days from 17th October 2024 until 31st March 2025 to allow the completion of a tender exercise
