Summary of the contracting process

Amplius Living procured independent debt advice as a public service, covering guidance and counselling for people requiring support with debt-related issues. The buyer is Amplius Living, based in Milton Keynes. Delivery covers multiple areas across England, including the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands, the East of England and the South East. The requirement is classified as a service rather than goods or construction work. It was arranged as a single lot, covering the full independent debt advice requirement. Organisations specialising in debt advice, financial guidance, counselling and related support services would be the closest commercial fit, particularly those able to operate across several English regions while maintaining an independent advice function.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a below-threshold procedure, with the published method described as unknown, and the tender was recorded as complete. Totemic Limited was selected as the supplier for the single lot. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £55,000 gross. The contract is active. The award concerns services for guidance and counselling, delivered across several English regions. The recorded contracting route was a tender, but the available outcome does not state an award scoring model or other evaluation weighting. The procurement was below the applicable threshold.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for independent debt advice delivered over a multi-year period by a large specialist provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in debt guidance and counselling, with the ability to provide advice independently and consistently across multiple English regions. Relevant operating capacity would include a suitably qualified advice team, reliable case-handling and referral processes, and the infrastructure to serve a geographically distributed client base. Experience delivering comparable public, housing or community-facing advice services would help demonstrate that the organisation can manage the required reach, continuity and safeguarding of service users.
