    Brief

    Derby City Council is establishing a framework for comprehensive debt resolution services, with eligibility extended to Derby Homes. The framework addresses council tax, business rates, commercial rents, overpaid housing benefits, social care debt recovery, litigation services, and data analytics. Three separate lots are available: Lot 1 (Enforcement Services) with a minimum of three suppliers appointed, Lot 2 (Litigation Services) with one supplier, and Lot 3 (Data Analytics Services) with one supplier. Suppliers may bid for one or more lots. The procurement follows a two-stage competitive flexible procedure: Stage One involves a Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ) assessing economic, financial, and technical capability plus pass/fail questions; Stage Two requires quality responses and pricing submissions. Estimated framework values are £100,000 for Lot 2 and £45,000 for Lot 3, with potential increases of up to 100% due to anticipated Local Government Reorganisation impacts. Lot 1 is income-generating for the Council with no allocated budget. Values are provisional and may adjust based on service demand changes or geographic expansion.
