What the notice says

This framework is being established to provide a Corporate Debt Management Services which include but not limited to: - Service to cover Council Tax and Business Rates, Commercial Rents, Over Paid Housing Benefit - Social Care and Miscellaneous Sundry Debt recovery. - Along with Litigation Service The framework will be divided into two lots. • Lot One - Enforcement Services. • Lot Two - Litigation Services. The core framework value for Lot two is estimated at £100,000 while lot three is estimated at £45,000, based on current known service requirements. No budget has been allocated to Lot 1, as this represents an income-generating element for the Authority. Due to the potential impact of the Local Government Reorganisation this value may rise by 100%. Therefore, Lot two could see a rise of up to £100,000 and Lot three by an additional £45,000. These figures are estimations and due to only being in the early stages of the process the Authority cannot give any commitment on these figures but would like to build scope into the Framework should the need arise.
