Herefordshire Council seeks market input for Direct Payment Support Service.
Herefordshire Council is conducting a market engagement RFI for a Direct Payment Support Service (DPSS) to support individuals managing their own care budgets. The council seeks to identify potential suppliers, understand challenges, and refine requirements for a future procurement. The service likely involves financial management, payroll, and advisory support for direct payment recipients. This is a preliminary exercise, not a call for competition, and no contract will be awarded at this stage. The council aims to ensure the service meets changing needs and demographics of the county.
