## Summary

Fair4All Finance Limited is initiating a tender for a comprehensive research report on the scale and trajectory of illegal moneylending in the United Kingdom. The procurement process, classified under research and development consultancy services, is currently in the planning stage with a tender submission deadline set for 28th January 2022. The total value of the contract is £100,000, and the contract period is expected to run from 28th February 2022 to 14th November 2022. The project seeks insights into both traditional and digital forms of illegal moneylending to aid regulatory efforts.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in research and social analysis services, particularly those with experience in financial sectors. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement method allows for a direct approach with a single tender action below the threshold. This contract not only aims to address pressing social issues but also provides organisations an avenue to expand their portfolios by contributing valuable insights to the financial services sector.

## Notice

Fair4All Finance is seeking to commission a comprehensive research report into the current scale and trajectory of illegal moneylending (IML) in the UK. We want the research to establish, as precisely as possible, the current volume and value associated with IML in the UK. This will include physical, face to face interactions, and more recent developments in online introductions and transactions conducted digitally. In these scenarios, customers may be duped into thinking the website or introducer is legitimate or preyed upon where they may know or suspect the lender is unauthorised but believe their choices are so limited that they proceed with transactions. Insights from this work, especially understanding the volume and value of illegal moneylending, will be used by Fair4All Finance and partners to inform regulators and the wider financial services sector on how to reduce customers in financially vulnerable circumstances needing to turn to illegal money lenders. The request for proposal document can be found on the Fair4All Finance website.
