Direct Payment Payroll and Banking Services
The procurement contact named on the official notice.
This sits in the upper-middle of the Health & Social Care band — a substantial contract for the sector. Based on 32,734 valued Health & Social Care tenders in our corpus.
Somerset Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 113 notices, roughly one every 6 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.
58% of Somerset Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.
Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →
This is not a call for competition and is not yet a contract opportunity.
Somerset Council is reviewing how it delivers support for people who receive a Direct Payment or other personalised budget.
From 2027, the Council intends to bring the advice and guidance element of the current service in house and procure a separate external payroll and banking service.
We are seeking early feedback from providers who deliver payroll, holding account, managed account or third-party banking services.
This feedback will help us test whether the proposed service specification is clear, realistic and comprehensive, and whether it reflects the requirements needed to support a good, robust and compliant service.
