UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City of Doncaster Council procured private rented sector enforcement support services for work in South Yorkshire. The scope covers civil penalty quality assurance, tribunal appeals, rent repayment orders and debt recovery. The appointed service is intended to provide end-to-end support, improving the quality, consistency and defensibility of enforcement decisions while maximising recoverable income. This is a legal advisory service supporting the council’s private rented sector enforcement activity. It would suit organisations that can combine legal advice with practical enforcement casework, decision review, appeals support, rent repayment order work and recovery of debts owed to the authority.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly, below the threshold and without competition, to JFT PRS Enforcement Support. The contract was signed on 21 June 2026 and runs from 22 June 2026 to 22 December 2026. Its value is £20,000 excluding VAT and £24,000 including VAT. One supplier was selected for the single requirement. The stated basis was direct appointment rather than a competitive evaluation, with the requirement focused on civil penalty quality assurance, tribunal appeals, rent repayment orders and debt recovery. The contract remains active and the tender is recorded as complete.

This award is a useful indicator of the council’s demand for specialist private rented sector enforcement support at a small, focused service scale. Competitors seeking similar work would need credible legal advisory capability alongside operational knowledge of civil penalties, tribunal appeals, rent repayment orders and debt recovery. They would also need to demonstrate how their work improves the consistency and defensibility of enforcement decisions, supports end-to-end case handling and increases recoverable income. Experience working with a local authority or public-sector enforcement function would help establish credibility, particularly where the supplier must review decisions, support contested cases and pursue recovery while maintaining a clear audit trail.
