Summary of the contracting process

The Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation is currently in the planning stage of a tender for an "End to End Debt Management" service, under the industry category of services. This procurement process, based in Wakefield, UK, seeks to consult with potential suppliers and customers to explore services related to debt management for local authorities, NHS, and other public sector organisations. Key services include auction services, financial consultancy, legal services, and IT support, among others. The market engagement phase includes a deadline of 19 December 2025 for interested parties to request a Request for Information (RFI) document, with preliminary engagement forms due by the same date. The total contract value is set at £50,000,000, and the planned contract period will run from 3 January 2027 to 2 January 2031.
