Opportunity overview
The Care Act (2014) places a duty on all local authorities to ensure that every adult assessed as being eligible for funded care and support can access a Personal Budget (PB), which is sufficient to meet their assessed needs. Direct Payments (DP) are the established route by which an individual can receive their allocated budget if they prefer to arrange their own support rather than receive a commissioned service. The DP Support Service enables access to information, advice, and signposting. The Bookkeeping and Payroll Service is only for those individuals who have either been assessed under Section 2 of the Carers and Disabled Children Act 2000, Care Act 2014 or Children and Families Act 2014 and who are ordinarily a resident within the City of Wolverhampton. This will include older and disabled people over the age of 16, people with parental responsibility for a disabled child and carers aged 16 and over or an appointed suitable person. The contract will be for five years from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030 with an option to extend for two periods of one year at the sole discretion of the council.
