    Brief

    The Council is seeking a specialist debt recovery provider to manage written-off or aged Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) cases that standard enforcement agencies have returned as uncollectable. The Provider will receive aged PCN debt cases (typically over 365 days old) and will be responsible for case review, debtor investigation, propensity-to-pay scoring, and determining appropriate recovery strategies. Services include tracing, customer contact, payment recovery activities, management reporting, financial audit reporting, and access to SRA-regulated legal recovery routes where necessary. This is a commission-only, no-win-no-fee engagement with no upfront or ongoing costs to the Council—the Provider earns a percentage commission solely on successful recoveries. The Council anticipates referring 400 to 1,200 cases monthly with an expected 10% recovery rate. This opportunity suits providers with expertise in high-risk debt recovery, debtor profiling, and multi-channel collection strategies.
