## Summary

Trafford Council is currently in the planning stage for the procurement of an Insolvency Proceedings Service, aimed at enhancing its effectiveness in collecting over £100 million in Council Tax and £150 million in Non-Domestic Rates. The contract, titled "Trafford Council Insolvency Proceedings Service," is classified under CPV code 75242110, relating to bailiff services. The engagement end date is set for 23rd February 2018, with the procurement process designed to move towards outsourcing this critical function to manage cases from the initial letters through to court orders and asset realisations. The contact point for this procurement is Robyn Gwilym, reachable at robyn.gwilym@star-procurement.gov.uk.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in debt recovery and insolvency services, particularly those with capabilities in legal proceedings and asset management. Companies that specialise in bailiff services or have experience working with local authorities in recovery operations will find this project well-suited to their expertise. Engaging in this procurement could significantly enhance a firm's portfolio, providing a chance to collaborate with Trafford Council, one of the leading councils in Greater Manchester for tax collection efficiency.

## Notice

Trafford Council are responsible for collecting over PS100m in Council Tax and over PS150m in Non-Domestic Rates. We have the highest Council Tax collection rate within Greater Manchester. It is important that the Council utilises all avenues of recovery where appropriate to ensure effective collection is maintained. At present, Insolvency proceedings are dealt with in house and we are looking to outsource this work to a suitable company who will deal with the case from initial letter before action (LBA) stage to obtaining the Order at court and dealing with the Trustees until the realisation of assets.
