## Summary

The Local Government Association is seeking tenders for the project titled "Fair and effective debt management," which aims to enhance debt management strategies in response to the economic challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. This procurement falls within the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, with an estimated contract value of £25,000. The tender period ends on 18 August 2021, and the contract is expected to commence on 1 September 2021 and run until 28 February 2022. The opportunity is located in London, United Kingdom, and employs an open procurement method.

This tender presents a potential growth opportunity for consulting firms and organisations that specialise in financial services, particularly those with expertise in debt management and financial inclusion strategies. Businesses that can demonstrate innovative approaches to improving debt recovery and supporting vulnerable consumers would be especially well-suited to compete for this contract, which aims to inform national policy development and foster sector improvements.

## Notice

The economic impact from the Covid-19 pandemic has been critical for both councils and their communities. Record numbers of households are in debt, councils are facing lower collection rates and more consumers find themselves in vulnerable circumstances. This climate threatens both the financial resilience of communities and the financial stability of councils themselves. Councils have come under much scrutiny for the methods used to collect debt and the ways in which they identify and This project will seek to strengthen our understanding of how councils can and should deliver fair and effective debt management as part of a wider financial inclusion strategy. This will complement other work that is being delivered as part of the LGAs existing Reshaping Financial Support (RFS) programme. We would like to identify and build on existing good practice and share findings to support sector-led improvement. We would like the learning from this project to form the basis of evidence-based recommendations and a business case that will inform national policy development and support levelling up.
