Our aspirations are to grow the numbers of people who choose a Direct Payment in Cornwall as a vehicle to purchasing support and meeting needs. To achieve this, we are keen to develop support structures to enable people, no matter their ability, to be able to receive a Direct Payment and manage it. We are looking for providers to offer some or all of the following services to enable people of all abilities to manage Direct Payments successfully: Support to recruit and train Personal Assistants and maintain a Personal Assistance database and manage a PA/Micro-Provider forum for people working in Cornwall. (One provider will be commissioned) Payroll support, to enable people to understand their responsibilities to HMRC and manage paying Personal Assistants (PA’s), taxes and ensuring where appropriate, client contributions are paid into the person’s Direct Payments account. To provide a 3rd party managed account service for people who are unable or unwilling to manage the funds in the Direct Payment themselves. We also expect that this service will support people to arrange their support, set up User Controlled Trusts and both formal and informal Circles of Support where needed, and provide independent Individual Service Funds for people. The Service will also provide the council with all monitoring, support the person to make financial contributions and complete on-line financial assessment and financial assessment reviews with the person when required. Information, advice and guidance about personalisation, creative support planning, using Direct Payments and employing Personal Assistants in Cornwall will be a common thread across all services

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 85. The category anchor is Health and social work services (85000000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 85 | 38,373 | 1 median · 19.7 average (22,930 of 38,373 with a bid count) | 1.8 average (24,592 of 38,373 with named award suppliers) | 10 comparable price pairs |
| Same buyer | 56 | 2.5 median · 162.2 average (26 of 56 with a bid count) | 6.1 average (27 of 56 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Delivery region: UKK3 | 81 | 2.5 median · 162.4 average (26 of 81 with a bid count) | 6.2 average (27 of 81 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 1,303 | 3 median · 4.4 average (29 of 1,303 with a bid count) | 1.2 average (30 of 1,303 with named award suppliers) | 3 comparable price pairs |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
£755,265 is the median lowest-valid-bid benchmark for the broad CPV market sample, against this procedure’s published value of £1,160,875.
This is a historical comparator, not a bid-price forecast or a guaranteed saving. It excludes records where the published values cannot be sensibly compared and does not adjust for lot structure, quality weighting, framework terms or scope.
