Summary of the contracting process

The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), an arm's-length body sponsored by the Department for Work and Pensions, is conducting a pre-tender market engagement for the commissioning of high-quality debt advice services and the administration of Debt Relief Orders (DROs). This early engagement notice, published on 14th May 2021, is part of the planning stage in the procurement process and aims to inform prospective providers about the upcoming tender opportunities. A Supplier Engagement Session is scheduled for 13th May 2021, and suppliers are encouraged to register for participation. These services will be delivered across England, with the total value of commissioned agreements potentially up to £231 million over a three-year period, with an option for a two-year extension.

This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on financial services, particularly those with expertise in debt advice and support services. Companies that have the relevant FCA authorisation or a valid exemption will be well-positioned to compete effectively for these contracts. Additionally, collaboration between organisations could enhance the chances of success, as bidders may form consortia to deliver services. The upcoming tender presents a chance for businesses to expand their influence and contribution in the community by providing essential guidance and advice to those in financial distress.

If you have comments or questions arising from the content of this deck we would welcome these being submitted in advance so that we can ensure that MaPS presenters cover as many of these as possible on the day. Please submit these clarifications through our survey which will remain open until the 21st May to ensure that post event reflections can also be captured. The link for the survey is: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/MaPSDebtCommissioningSurvey/ All survey responses will be considered as we finalise our requirements before the tender opportunity goes live. As this is not a call for evidence we will be unable to consider additional information (i.e. links or embedded docs) and we would encourage you to keep comments and clarifications as focused as possible. Wherever possible, we would also encourage organisations to submit collective questions or comments. Project Details The Authority intends to recommission all agreements for national and regional debt advice provision, small business debt advice and the administration of DROs. Commissioned services will cover England only. DROs will be delivered by Competent Authorities and will provide both national remote services and regional provision. National, regional and business debt advice will be commissioned through separate agreements. Organisations that wish to deliver debt advice must hold the relevant FCA authorisation (to provide debt advice) unless they have a valid FCA-authorised exemption. However, organisations wishing to take part in the bidding process do not need to have received FCA authorisation to bid or to act as a consortium lead during the delivery of services but must ensure the delivery partners are FCA authorised. The agreements shall be for three years with the option for a further two-year extension (all agreements will have an annual break clause as funding is subject to HMT/DWP approval on an annual cycle). Project Value The maximum combined value for all lots will be: PS192,500,000 m excluding VAT (for three years) or PS231,000,000 m including VAT (for three years)"
