Summary of the contracting process

The Information Commissioner's Office, an independent public authority in the UK, is inviting tenders for the provision of insolvency practitioner services. This procurement falls within the legal representation services category and is currently in the active tender stage. The objective is to establish a panel of up to seven firms, divided into two lots: Lot 1 for practitioners licensed in England & Wales, and Lot 2 for those licensed in Scotland. The deadline for submission is 15 June 2021, and the contract period will span four years. Interested parties should apply through the electronic submission method specified in the tender documentation.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for insolvency practitioners, particularly those licenced to operate in England, Wales, or Scotland. Firms that can demonstrate suitability and meet the licensing requirements will be well-positioned to compete for one of the seven spots on the panel. With the potential for monetary penalties linked to the services provided, successful bidders will not only enhance their business portfolio but also contribute to the critical work of the Information Commissioner's Office in regulating data protection law across the UK.
