Direct Payments are an alternative to traditional care and support services. The Council provides cash payments for individual Service Users to purchase services that meet their assessed care needs. This gives the person receiving services more choice and control over how their care needs are met. Recipients of Direct Payments can choose to employ their own care workers known as Personal Assistants (PAs) or to buy services from a provider or a mixture of the two.
In providing Direct Payments, local authorities are also expected to provide an adequate service to support those who need assistance in managing their Direct Payments.
We are looking to establish a list of providers of approved services for:
A. Standard Payroll service.
B. Managed Accounts service with Payroll.
C. Managed Accounts service without Payroll.
There will not be a guaranteed number of accounts but commissioners, care co-ordinators and Service Users and their Representatives will have access to the list of approved services from which to choose services required.
Tameside MBC is inviting organisations, via a completed Organisational Questionnaire (OQ), to be included on the list of approved providers. This will be an open list, re-advertised on an on-going basis.
Providers interested in applying to be placed on the list of approved day services should complete an OQ. All OQ and supporting documentation must be completed and submitted electronically by using Pro Contract through www.thechest.nwce.gov.uk by the due date of 29.7.2013 at 12:00 hrs.
