## Description
Description:
The Home Office seeks a commercial partner for the provision of debt collection services. Debt owed to the authority (the Home Office) arises in a number of different ways including fines and penalties, charges and staff overpayments. This can be against individuals and organisations who predominantly are in the UK, but some may be based overseas. The Home Office has in the past established debt management and collections service suppliers for debt recovery services in respect of its overdue debt. Such services including the handling of court recovery procedures on behalf of the home office and the provision of other debt recovery services to facilitate the recovery of all forms of debt and reduce the average debtor payment time. 
The content of this Notice, including the nature of works and services including start date of contract, may be the subject to change.
The contract is expected to commence in January 2026 and run until January 2029, with a potential extension to January 2030.
