This exercise is aligned with the Procurement Act 2023, ensuring transparency, fairness, proportionality and value for money. Leicester City Council invites Suppliers to respond to key questions to shape any future procurement activity in relation to Debt Resolution Service that it may procure. Suppliers are also requested to provide their pricing models for the Authority to consider (various options may be provided).

However, Suppliers shall note that the Authority will have to comply with its legal obligations in any ensuing procurement exercise and that neither the intention nor the purpose of this PME is to confer any commercial advantage upon its participants. Suppliers shall note that the estimated total value of the forthcoming procurement tender will be determined based on the outcomes of this PME exercise.
