Tender description
Prepaid cards, which are similar to a debit card, were primarily used to replace the manual distribution of cash to Client Finance service users (those subject to an appointeeship / Court of Protection deputyship) and for the direct payment to service users in Adults and Children social care. Following the implementation, the offer of a card for a direct payment for Adult Services has ceased. There are currently three active programmes using prepaid cards, provided to the council by Prepaid Card Financial Services (PFS): • Client Finance Programme • Direct Payments - Children's Services • Corporate Procurement Programme.

Larger tenders also appear on the government's Find a Tender service. Procurements follow the Procurement Act 2023, using open or competitive flexible procedures.

Healthcare-related procurements follow the NHS Provider Selection Regime where it applies. Invoices need a valid purchase order under the council's no purchase order, no pay policy.
