## Summary

Oxford Brookes University procured student and commercial debt collection services. The requirement is for a supplier to pursue debts owed to the university across both student and commercial accounts. This is a service contract in the legal-services category (CPV 79100000), with delivery in the South East of England. The buyer is Oxford Brookes University, based in Oxford. The procurement description identifies the type of debt collection work but does not break it down further by account volumes, collection methods or individual service tasks.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Wilkin Chapman Rollits. The award was made on 1 August 2026, following a procurement with a submission deadline of 1 August 2026. The contract runs from 4 August 2026 to 4 August 2028. The awarded contract value is £400,000. The procurement is described as using an “other” method, with no further procedural detail. The requirement is presented as a single contract rather than separate lots. The recorded suitability assessment says the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated.

For debt recovery firms, this award confirms demand from Oxford Brookes University for collection services covering both student and commercial debts. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to manage these two debtor groups and deliver debt collection as a specialist service. The selected supplier, Wilkin Chapman Rollits, is identified as a large organisation, indicating that the contract was placed with a supplier of substantial scale; the university also recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs. Firms considering similar work for this buyer should assess whether they can match the appointed supplier’s capacity and provide relevant debt recovery expertise across the stated account types. The requirement is specifically for university debt collection, not general legal services.
