It is jointly committed to ensuring that individuals across the UK have access to the advice, guidance and information necessary to make informed financial decisions throughout their lifetime. To ensure the advice, guidance and information we deliver, or commission is of the highest possible standard, MaPS requires a delivery partner to administer out Debt Advice Quality Framework Accreditation Scheme. The MaPS Debt Advice Quality Framework consists of two interrelated and essential components: the Organisational Quality Framework and the Individual Quality Framework. Together, these components form our approach to ensuring the provision of high-quality debt advice services in both the free-to-client and fee-charging sectors. The MaPS Debt Advice Quality Framework (https://debtquality.org.uk/accreditation-of-training-and-qualifications/ ) serves as a unified mechanism against which third-party standards, codes, training, and qualifications, currently used within the debt advice sector across England, can be mapped and assessed for compliance. Those providers who meet the framework's requirements will be awarded accreditation, while those unable to demonstrate compliance will be encouraged to address any identified gaps. The scope of the service includes the following activities: • Accreditation: Mapping against the criteria outlined in the MaPS Debt Advice Quality Framework. • Standards and Codes Report Checks: Annual reviews of third-party standards holders' audits to ensure their standards are compliant with MaPS's Debt Advice Quality Framework. • Training: Development and delivery of refresher training sessions for staff of third-party standards and membership code holders as required. Additionally, the supplier will provide subject matter expertise to MaPS in relation to the accreditation of third-party standards, codes, and training/qualifications. The supplier will also participate in evaluation and continuous improvement activities as needed. Suppliers will need to be able to demonstrate experience of assessment and auditing to map Third-Party Standards/Codes and Third Party Training/Qualifications. MaPS are conducting an early market engagement event to assess market capabilities, identify potential suppliers, and refine requirements prior to the formal procurement process. The purpose of this event is to inform the procurement process regarding the potential appointment of an Accreditation supplier capable of overseeing two critical components of the service: 1. Organisational Quality Framework 2. Individual Quality Framework To facilitate the monitoring of adherence to these standards, as well as regulatory requirements, and to ensure that MaPS-funded advisers deliver high-quality debt advice, the procured service will administer the Debt Advice Quality Framework Accreditation Scheme. MaPS will be hosting a Debt Advice Qua... > [Read full procurement scope and specification on Tenderline](https://tenderline.uk/tenders/debt-advice-quality-framework-accreditation-scheme-ocds-h6vhtk-050caf) ## Lots (1) ### Lot 1: Untitled lot - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** planning - **CPV codes:** 72225000, 98000000 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Delivery countries in notice:** GB - **Contract Period:** 31/03/2026 to 31/03/2029 - **Renewal published:** yes ## Provenance and Official Sources - **Official Notice:** [Find a Tender notice](/out?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.find-tender.service.gov.uk%2FNotice%2F018920-2025) - **Last Source Update:** 2025-05-02T16:35:59.000Z - **This document generated:** 2026-10-27T18:39:09.457Z - **Machine API:** https://tenderline.uk/api/public/tenders/ocds-h6vhtk-050caf
