## Summary

The London Borough of Enfield procured legal services for income and debt, specifically legal action to enforce debts arising from revenues collection. The work supports the Council’s debt enforcement requirements and is delivered for Enfield Council in Enfield, London. This is a legal services requirement, classified under CPV 79100000. The procurement concerns services rather than goods or construction works. The named buying organisation is the London Borough of Enfield, a local authority. The requirement was arranged through the North East Purchasing Organisation Legal Services Framework Agreement, reference NEPO513, so it is relevant to law firms with suitable public-sector debt recovery, revenues enforcement and litigation capability, particularly those able to operate for a London local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award call-off under the NEPO Legal Services Framework, using a limited procedure without prior publication of a competition notice. Price was the stated award criterion. Two active awards were recorded: Wilkin Chapman LLP T/A Wilkin Chapman Rollites and Ward Hadaway LLP, each with a contract value of £1,300,000. The contract with Wilkin Chapman was signed on 20 August 2026; the contract with Ward Hadaway was signed on 17 August 2026. The stated duration is 24 months, with a Council option to extend by up to a further 24 months. The estimated value covers the full 48-month period if the extension is used and excludes VAT. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, despite the active awards and contracts.

This award demonstrates established demand from Enfield Council for specialist legal support in revenues-related debt enforcement. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns would need demonstrable experience of taking legal action for debt recovery, understanding public-sector revenues collection and managing enforcement work for a local authority. The arrangement also shows that the Council has used a recognised legal services framework and a direct award call-off, so firms would need access to the relevant framework route or an equivalent route available under the applicable procurement arrangements. The scale of the awards indicates capacity to manage a substantial, sustained caseload, while the two-provider outcome suggests that credible suppliers may need resilient teams, consistent service delivery and the ability to support the Council across the contract’s full operational requirements.
