Direct Payment Support Services Framework

Nottinghamshire County Council on behalf of the Commissioners:

• Nottinghamshire County Council
• Nottingham City Council
• NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG)
• NHS Bassetlaw Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG)

has established a Framework of 5 organisations able to provide Direct Payment Support Services in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The aim is to create a robust local marketplace of cost effective, consistent and high-quality services with consistent pricing and terms and conditions for all parties calling off from the Framework Agreement.

Providers on the Framework are able to deliver three service elements:

1. Employment Support

2. Payroll

3. Managed Accounts

There will be no guaranteed volume of work; support elements will be commissioned as and when they are needed. People may require one or more of the support elements.

Prices for service elements will be fixed by the Commissioners and will apply to whichever Commissioner has called off a contract under the Framework.
