In preparation for a proposed forthcoming procurement opportunity to provide support to people to manage a direct payment, Essex County Council ("the Council") would like to invite organisations to participate in a market engagement event. The Council is likely to commission the following support for a direct payment support service (DPSS): • Employment Advice and Guidance • Account management • Payroll • Information and advice in relation to direct payments The council may also look to source: • Brokerage to source support • Digital solution to manage a direct payment • Support to recruit, train, retain and manage Personal Assistants The Council may look to engage with more than one provider to provide all or parts of these services in order to create choice for people who will access the services. The Council may structure the corresponding procurement opportunity so that a number of providers will deliver all the core aspects of the service. However, the Council reserves the right to refine the scope of this procurement following the market engagement events for this project. The final scope of the procurement including the use of lots will be published in the corresponding Contract Notice prior to the formal launch of this procurement opportunity.
