Description

Oxfordshire County Council's Joint Commissioning Team is advertising an opportunity to provide support to users of its Direct Payments Services. Oxfordshire County Council and the Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group require an effective, efficient and economical Direct Payment Support Service to ensure that flexible, high quality support is available for recipients of Direct Payments.

The overall aim of the Service is to give Service Users the opportunity for greater choice and control to manage Personal Health Budgets and Direct Payments, to encourage Service Users to take up Direct Payments and, where needed, to access support with the administration of Direct Payments and the purchasing of care and support.

• Lot 1 - Direct Payments Information and Advice Service
• Lot 2 - Direct Payments Account Support and Payroll Service


The contract(s) will be for three years with an option to extend for a further two years. The indicative contract start date is 24th January 2018.
