    Brief

    Somerset Council is reviewing its support services for people receiving Direct Payments or personalised budgets. From 2027, the Council will bring advice and guidance in-house while procuring an external payroll and banking service. The Council is seeking early feedback from providers offering payroll, holding account, managed account, or third-party banking services to test whether the proposed service specification is clear, realistic, comprehensive, and meets the requirements for a robust and compliant service. This is a pre-procurement engagement opportunity designed to shape future requirements and is not currently a formal contract competition.
