## Summary

The procurement process is led by Lewisham Homes Limited, a non-profit organisation responsible for managing thousands of properties in London. The tender, titled "Former Tenants Arrears Collection and Tracing Services," falls under the services category and was initiated on November 29, 2018, with the tender submission deadline set for December 21, 2018. The procurement method employed was an open procedure below threshold, and the contract period spans from April 1, 2019, to March 31, 2022. The contract, recently awarded on April 24, 2019, is valued at £60,000 and focuses on managing successfully the collection of former tenant debts.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in debt recovery and tracing services.

Engaging with Lewisham Homes could also provide a pathway to establishing a long-term partnership with a significant public sector player.

## Notice

The stock is widely distributed throughout the borough and largely consists of low-rise flats although there are also some high-rise and street properties. The proposed contract is required for Former Tenants Arrears Collection and Tracing Services. Former tenant debts can arise through eviction, abandonment, death or voluntary vacation.
