This tender falls under the civic-amenity services industry category and is currently in the Tender stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 10 April 2019. The contract, once awarded, will commence on 16 April 2019 and run until 15 April 2029. This procurement utilizes a selective method under a restricted procedure, allowing invited suppliers to provide enforcement agency services across various debt types. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in enforcement, debt collection, and related consultancy services. Companies that offer bailiff services or have registered enforcement officers will find this procurement particularly relevant. Additionally, firms looking to serve a diverse geographical area, as indicated through a matrix during the application process, will benefit from this dynamic purchasing system (DPS) designed to streamline the procurement for multiple public organisations in the UK, thus reducing the need for repetitive application procedures. ## Notice Places for People are seeking to appoint providers to be appointed onto a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of Enforcement Agency Services which will be utilised and owned by Places for People Procurement Hub. This includes the collection of all debt types which a Contracting Authority may have a requirement to collect and other services an Enforcement Agent can typically provide. Examples of the debt types include but are not limited to; council tax, parking fines, non-domestic rates/business rates, road traffic fines, sundry debt, housing benefits overpayments, social care debts and university accommodation fees. Examples of other services may include but are not limited to repossessions, evictions, tracing services and debt collection advice/consultancy. The DPS will be not be divided into defined Lots. Instead contractors are asked to complete a matrix to provide details of the geographical areas that they can undertake. Suppliers can apply for as many areas as they wish. It will be expected that Contracting Authorities will have the appropriate authority and orders to allow the Enforcement Agents to carry out the services. Examples include, but are not limited to, Liability Orders, Writ of Control or Repossession Orders. All providers must be registered Enforcement Officers and/or High Court Enforcement Officers and comply with The Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013, The Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 and The Certification of Enforcement Agents Regulations 2014 (including any amendments). Space has been provided in the online questions for potential service providers to indicate what debt types they can collect and what other services they can offer. This is for information purposes only and does not form any basis for evaluation or acceptance onto the DPS. It is not a requirement of the establishment of the DPS for potential service providers to collect all debt types and to offer other services. Contracting Authorities will not use this additional services information to pre-select the providers invited to take part in their further competition. Any debt types and other services a potential services provider can offer can be amended at any time during the life of the DPS. This procurement is being undertaken by Places for People the contracting authority for itself and as lead authority for the benefit of other organisations that will be set out in the contract notice. Accordingly, it is the intention that these other UK public organisations should be able to rely on this procurement to purchase such services without the need for any further OJEU procurement process via mini-competition. The Hub can be joined by Contracting Authorities and stream-lines processes for members of the Hub, reducing time and expense incurred in such procurement processes. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6982492-a464-4928-8fd2-0972913a377b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 11 Mar 2019 | | Submission deadline | 10 Apr 2019 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 15 Apr 2019 - 15 Apr 2029 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | 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 | PLACES FOR PEOPLE | | Locality | PRESTON | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR2 2YB | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD4 Lancashire | | ITL 3 | TLD45 Mid Lancashire | | Local authority | Preston | | Electoral ward | Ashton | | Westminster constituency | Preston | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 75 - Administration, defence and social security services - 98 - Other community, social and personal services ### Codes - 75242110 - Bailiff services - 98350000 - Civic-amenity services ## Release History - 11 Mar 2019 at 12:02 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6982492-a464-4928-8fd2-0972913a377b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e6982492-a464-4928-8fd2-0972913a377b 11th March 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - http://www.placesforpeople.co.uk ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
