Contract for the Approved Provider List for Payroll Services for Direct Payment Service Users

Durham County Council's, Direct Payments Team is seeking applications from suitable providers to join an approved provider list for the provision of Payroll Services for Direct Payment Service Users. The Approved Provider List is for Durham County Council's Direct Payments team to utilise when signposting direct payment service users to potential direct payment Providers. No service user will be obliged to access the services of those Providers who are on this Approved Provider List. There is no guarantee of any volumes of work as a result of the establishment of the Approved Provider List. Numbers will vary due to packages of support starting and ending and service users exercising their choice over which Provider to use for the services detailed within ITT Document 2 - Part 1 Service Specification. This Approved Provider List is available in three Lots: • Lot 1 - Payroll Provider Services • Lot 2 - Managed Accounts • Lot 3 - Managing Pre-Payment Cards Bidders can choose to submit offers for one, two or all three Lots. The Council would like to engage with multiple organisations to become part of the Approved Provider List for all Lots.
