Tender description

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.

About the buyer

Wolverhampton City Council is a local authority that runs its own corporate procurement function covering goods and services for the city. Tenders and contract opportunities are published through the ProContract portal, where free registration takes about ten minutes. A public contracts register lists every live agreement the council holds. Projects due for retender within the next three years appear in a rolling procurement pipeline. Many requirements are sourced through existing frameworks, where suppliers have already pre-competed, rather than run as fresh competitions. Registered suppliers are notified automatically when a new opportunity matches their expertise.

UK local government drives £140bn in annual procurement, led by social protection (£66.6bn) and education (£57.1bn).

Over the past 5 years, most of Wolverhampton City Council's contract awards have been in architectural and engineering services, construction work and health and social work.
