Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has awarded a contract for the provision of Arrest Warrants Execution Services for the Child Maintenance Service across England and Wales. The contract, titled "DWP Arrest Warrants for the Child Maintenance Service - England and Wales", has been awarded to Marston (Holdings) Ltd on 7th January 2025 following a call-off competition from the YPO Enforcement Framework 1200. The contract is valued at £301,000 plus VAT for an initial two-year period starting from 6th January 2025 and ending on 5th January 2027, with an option to extend for another 24 months. The services will cover regions including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, and Wales. The procurement falls under the CPV classification of Law-courts-related administrative services, public law and order services, and bailiff services, and was conducted as a call-off from a framework agreement which is a Light Touch Regime procurement.

This contract provides significant opportunities for businesses specialised in public law and order services, particularly those experienced in executing arrest warrants and handling civil debt enforcement. The contract's potential extension offers stability and long-term engagement, which can be beneficial for SMEs and VCSEs looking to expand their service offerings in the public sector. With a total maximum value up to £800,000 excluding VAT over four years, businesses involved in this sector can leverage this contract to grow their portfolio and establish a robust working relationship with the DWP. Those not already registered with the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) can still participate by getting the Service Specification and registering through their clarifications process, thereby opening further avenues for future government contracts.
