About

Local authorities are seeking a supplier for payroll and banking services to manage Direct Payments used to fund individuals' social care. An assessment of each person's social care needs determines eligibility and the level of funding, and the payments are made directly to the Individual, their nominated representative, their authorised representative, or a third-party holding account so they can organise and manage their own support provision.
