Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council has awarded a contract for PKC13198 Debt Collection Services, aiming to secure effective debt recovery, diligence, and associated activities. The procurement, under the category of services related to accounting, auditing, and fiscal services (CPV 79200000), was finalised through a direct award method without competition, leveraging the Scotland Excel framework for Debt Recovery and Sheriff Officer Services (1023). The award went to Stirling Park LLP, with an estimated contract value of £850,000. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 4th April 2025, and the contract period runs from 4th July 2025 to 4th June 2028. The services will primarily be located in Perth, Scotland.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for firms specialising in debt recovery and relevant fiscal services. Given that the contract required no competitive bidding and was directly awarded, businesses familiar with framework agreements such as Scotland Excel and those capable of providing comprehensive debt collection services could find similar opportunities rewarding. Companies that offer robust debt management solutions and have experience working with local councils will be particularly well-suited to compete for such tenders in the future.
