Debt Recovery and Enforcement Services 2025

Telford and Wrekin Council is seeking to appoint two qualified contractors to manage debt recovery services. The contractors will handle various aspects of debt collection on behalf of the Council, including: 1. **Local Taxation**: This involves collecting and enforcing payments related to Council Tax and Non-Domestic Rates. Services may include taking control of goods and selling them to recover debts, as well as obtaining employment or benefit information for liable parties. 2. **Tracing Debtors**: Contractors will be tasked with locating absconded debtors, specifically those who owe Council Tax, Non-Domestic Rates, or have overpaid housing benefits. Payment for this service will only be made when specifically instructed. 3. **Miscellaneous Debt**: The Council may refer other types of debt to the contractors, particularly when previous collection efforts have failed. This could include cases of commercial rent, property repossession, and housing benefit overpayments. 4. **Parking Penalty Charges**: The contractors will also manage the collection of unpaid Parking Penalty Charge Notices. Interested suppliers can find more details and submit their proposals by the deadline of August 29, 2025.
