It is Government policy to recover all debt where it is reasonable and cost effective to do so without causing undue financial hardship to debtors. The DWP is undertaking a competitive flexible procedure to appoint a supplier to provide a commercial off the shelf (COTS) software as a service (SaaS) debt management system to meet DWP requirements and manage the recovery of debt and other monies owed to the Government, allowing the DWP to recover over £2billion of debt annually.

The duration of the contract will be up to 8 years (Initial Term) with the option to extend the Initial Term by one or more extension periods provided that the aggregate of any such extensions is no greater than 36 months. The estimated value of the contract over the Initial Term of the contract (8 years) is up to £47,000,000.00 (excluding VAT). This figure has been calculated from past and forecasted spend and shall not be taken by Suppliers as a commitment or a forecast of likely revenue. The estimated total contract value (inclusive of any options) is up to £79,800,000.00 million (excluding VAT). This value has been calculated based on indicative volumes provided within the specification and any future initiatives and optional services. The total published contract value as published in this Tender Notice (UK4) is an indication to the market of the maximum amount which could be spent through this contract and shall not be taken by Suppliers as a commitment or a forecast of likely revenue.
