The Accredited List is a tool, which is set up, monitored and updated by the Council. It will allow people in Thurrock who are looking for support in using their Personal Budget to choose from a list of providers that adhere to certain quality and safety standards.

The Council is operating this procurement under the Light Touch Regime for Social and Other Specific Services, as set out in the PCR 2015, at Section 7 (Regulations 74 to 77) and Schedule 3.
