Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council procured debt tracing solutions under a call-off contract using Experian’s CitizenView Plus service. The requirement is a service for investigating and tracing individuals associated with debt recovery, within the broader investigation and security services category (CPV 79700000). Delivery covers the South East of England. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement is intended to support its debt tracing activity. The contracted service is supplied by Experian Ltd, a large provider of information and investigation services. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to businesses providing debt tracing, identity and address data, investigation support or related public-sector recovery services, particularly those able to serve council requirements across the South East.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a call-off contract. The award was made to Experian Ltd on 29 June 2026 for £10,000. The contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 29 June 2028. The tender deadline was 23 June 2026 at 23:59. The procurement method was recorded as “Other” and the requirement was treated as a services contract. The tender was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier was Experian Ltd. The award is active, and the contract is for CitizenView Plus debt tracing solutions. The award value and contract period describe this individual procurement and should not be treated as a wider framework or combined purchasing arrangement.

This award demonstrates a council requirement for specialist debt tracing delivered through a recognised commercial data service. Suppliers competing for comparable work would need credible capability in tracing people, addresses or other information relevant to debt recovery, together with dependable access to accurate data and systems for handling searches. Experience of supporting public-sector debt collection or related investigation work would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist providers may be commercially relevant where they can demonstrate reliable service delivery, appropriate information governance and the capacity to support council operations across the South East. Competitors should also understand call-off contracting and be able to provide a clearly defined tracing solution at modest contract scale.
