    Brief

    Durham County Council is seeking to engage with potential service providers and suppliers regarding the future delivery of FCA regulated debt advice services to County Durham residents. This preliminary market engagement exercise will conclude by 31 March 2027 when the current contract expires. Through this engagement, the Council aims to: understand the current market capacity and capability; identify available service delivery approaches and models; gather evidence to inform the development of a new service specification; determine the most appropriate commissioning strategy; and design an effective procurement process for future provision. If you provide debt advice services, have relevant FCA regulation credentials, or operate in the debt advice sector, you are encouraged to share your experience, capacity, service models, and any barriers to service delivery in County Durham. This is not a tender but an information-gathering exercise to shape future procurement.
