Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council is seeking to award a contract for Debt Collection Services, aiming to enhance its income collection processes for various streams, including Council Tax and Housing Benefit Overpayments. The procurement entails an open procedure, and the tender period closed on 18 April 2018, with the award period commencing the same day. The location for the delivery of these services is Aberdeen City, UK. The total contract value is £1,750,000, with a provision for a potential 12-month extension.

This procurement presents an excellent opportunity for businesses, particularly those specialised in debt collection and related financial services. Companies that hold a commission to operate in the Sheriffdom of Grampian and are members of relevant associations, such as the Society of Messengers-at-Arms and Sheriff Officers or the Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuation, would be well-positioned to compete. Such businesses could significantly benefit from the contract while contributing to the council's aim of maximizing revenue collection.
