Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has initiated a tender process managed by the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) for the provision of an arrest warrants execution service across England and Wales. This procurement falls under the 'Law-courts-related administrative services' industry category. The service is expected to start in mid to late 2024 and is structured into two lots: Lot 1 (North) covering Northern England, Midlands, and North Wales, and Lot 2 (South) covering London, the South East, South West, East of England, and South Wales. The total estimated contract value ranges from £500,000 to £800,000 excluding VAT over a potential four-year term, with an option to extend for up to two additional years. Interested suppliers must follow the YPO registration and tender submission process by 30th September 2024.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for firms specialising in law enforcement and administrative services. Suitable businesses include those that are already certified enforcement agents and registered under the YPO Enforcement Framework 1200. Companies capable of managing and executing administrative tasks related to arrest warrants in the specified regions should consider bidding. The division into two lots allows for a focused approach tailored to either the Northern or Southern regions, enhancing the potential for SMEs to win contracts by leveraging their local expertise and connections.
