This early engagement notice, published on 14th May 2021, is part of the planning stage in the procurement process and aims to inform prospective providers about the upcoming tender opportunities. A Supplier Engagement Session is scheduled for 13th May 2021, and suppliers are encouraged to register for participation. These services will be delivered across England, with the total value of commissioned agreements potentially up to £231 million over a three-year period, with an option for a two-year extension. This procurement process presents significant opportunities for businesses focused on financial services, particularly those with expertise in debt advice and support services. Companies that have the relevant FCA authorisation or a valid exemption will be well-positioned to compete effectively for these contracts.
