Standing List of Providers of Children's Direct Payments (Payroll/Managed Account) Service

Torbay Council's Children's Services' Direct Payments (DP) Service undertook a tender process, seeking payroll and managed service providers, who would 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 or Health, and who would like to arrange and pay for their own care and support services instead of receiving them directly from the Local Authority or CCG. The service provides assistance and provision of all aspects of payroll including holding managed accounts where required, managing pension auto-enrolment and dealing with the Inland Revenue.
