Summary of the contracting process

Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust is procuring debt collection services for debts owed to the Trust, covering collection activity in the UK and overseas. The requirement is for specialist collection agency services, including the pursuit and recovery of outstanding debts from individuals or organisations in relevant jurisdictions. The work is a public-sector service contract for the Trust, based in Leeds, with delivery extending across the United Kingdom and international locations. It will suit providers whose business is focused on debt resolution and collections rather than general financial advisory, legal or administrative support. Suppliers should review the detailed requirements and questionnaires to confirm that their operational coverage matches the Trust’s UK and overseas collection needs.

The procurement reached the tender stage: the Trust invited offers through an open procedure. Enquiries and electronic submissions were due by 9 September 2026 at 12:00 noon, with submissions allowed in English through the stated online service. The estimated value is £400,000 excluding VAT, or £480,000 including VAT. The intended contract period is 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2029, with renewal options of two further 12-month terms, potentially extending to 1 November 2031. The award decision was due by 15 October 2026. Evaluation is based on technical and quality responses (50%), commercial pricing (30%), social value and sustainability (10%), and a supplier presentation (10%).

This opportunity suits established debt collection and resolution agencies with the capability to recover debts across both UK and overseas markets. Providers should be able to demonstrate practical collection expertise, suitable international reach and the operational capacity to manage the Trust’s requirement over a multi-year contract and potential extensions. The tender uses separate commercial, technical and quality, social value and sustainability questionnaires, followed by a presentation, so bidders need to prepare clear evidence of their service approach and delivery capability as well as pricing. It is particularly relevant to suppliers already handling cross-border collections and able to explain how they would support a large NHS Trust’s debt recovery needs.
