The service helps people to find, recruit and pay for the types of care and support they wish to receive. This enables people with care needs to have greater choice and control over the care they receive. The service under the proposed contract has been mainly used by adults but is also available for children/young people with a direct payment.  Value - £120,778.35 This transparency notice is to notify the market that Peterborough City Council intends to direct award a contract to Peterborough Council for Voluntary Services (PCVS) for the Direct Payment Support Service Contract, which will run from 1st November 2025 to 30th September 2026.
