    Brief

    This is an opportunity to provide debt recovery services across England and Wales to help collect child maintenance arrears. The service focuses on recovering payments owed by parents who are legally responsible for paying child maintenance for their children. Suppliers should understand that this role involves pursuing outstanding debts through established recovery procedures, communicating with obligated parents, and working within the legal framework governing child maintenance enforcement. The service is critical for ensuring children receive the financial support they are entitled to from their non-resident parents.
