As Phase 1 of this project, LawtechUK is looking for a technical delivery partner (individually or through a consortium) to: 1) Produce a feasibility study for the development of an online system for SMEs to resolve late payment related disputes and, if needed, to be able to enforce the outcome of the resolution process against the debtor. The study would need to establish the user needs and the legal mechanisms for resolution and enforcement, and include a technical design, timeline and business case for development of a full system. 2) Develop a proof of concept to demonstrate the findings and outcomes of the feasibility study, and support the business case. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3ee46e60-3b97-403c-b9ad-c5fad1f6959b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jun 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 19 Jul 2020 - 20 Nov 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £50,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | TECH NATION GROUP LTD | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | EC2M 2PA | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | City of London | | Electoral ward | Bishopsgate | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 71241000 - Feasibility study, advisory service, analysis - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79314000 - Feasibility study ## Release History - 8 Jun 2020 at 16:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3ee46e60-3b97-403c-b9ad-c5fad1f6959b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/3ee46e60-3b97-403c-b9ad-c5fad1f6959b 8th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.mytenders.co.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=JUN159881 NOTE: To register your interest in this notice and obtain any additional information please visit the myTenders Web Site at the link provided. ## Notice URLs - http://www.technation.io/lawtechuk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
