## Summary

The Insolvency Service buys external data checks to support applications for Debt Relief Orders (DROs). The checks verify applicants’ identities so the Service can assess their current debt liabilities and ownership of assets. This is an information and data-checking service, rather than debt advice or debt-management provision. The buyer is the Insolvency Service, a central government body. The procurement identifies delivery in the United Kingdom; no more specific delivery location is stated. The service supports the Service’s DRO application assessment process and requires the supplier to provide data that enables identity verification and checks on applicants’ financial position and asset ownership.

The procurement is complete and Experian was selected for the work. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and is active. Its value is £540,000. The requirement was placed as a call-off from the G-Cloud 14 framework, using a limited procedure without a prior competition notice. One bid was recorded. Price was the stated award criterion. The process was organised as one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled in the tender information, while the award and contract are recorded as active. The award relates to the DRO external data-checking service. No contract period is stated, so the contract’s duration cannot be established from the recorded dates and value.

For suppliers serving public-sector insolvency and debt-relief processes, this award demonstrates demand for external data checks that help verify identity and establish applicants’ liabilities and asset ownership. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable access to relevant data and checks that can be incorporated into an application-assessment workflow. The work sits within a government digital-services framework route, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be equipped to supply through the relevant framework and deliver an operational data-checking service at significant scale. Experience supporting identity checks and financial-position or asset checks would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement. The award went to a large established provider, indicating the kind of supplier that has delivered this service for the Insolvency Service.

## Notice

The Insolvency Service requires the provision of external data checks as part of its application process for DRO's to verify an applicant's identity in order that the assessment of their current debt liability position and asset ownership, by Supplier, can take place.
