Description

The Authority has an enduring requirement to appoint suitably qualified and experienced auctioneers to support its Debt Management operations through the seizure, appraisal, storage and sale of customer assets as part of its statutory debt recovery activities. This procurement will be structured as a single HMRC led Open Procedure resulting in the award of separate contracts, one per Lot. It is not intended to establish a framework agreement. The scope of the services include Appraisal of assets prior to seizure; Contacting customers to facilitate debt recovery; Removal, transportation and secure storage and assets; Auction planning, marketing and sale of goods including online and physical auctions; Provision of specialist auction services where required; Remittance of sale proceeds; and Provision of management information and reporting. The services will be delivered across geographically defined regions. The contract will be let across multiple regional Lots, with Suppliers able to bid for one or more Lots. A maximum of two Lots may be awarded per Supplier. The Services are demand led and will be instructed on a Case by Case basis. The Authority does not guarantee any minimum volume or value of work. The Authority anticipates the following regional structure and indicative annual values, which are provided for information purposes only; Lot 1 North England approx. £150,00 per annum Lot 2 Midlands approx. £230,000 per annum Lot 3 Northern Ireland approx. £62,500 per annum Lot 4 South England and Wales approx. £230,000 per annum Lot 5 London approx. £202,500 per annum These figures are indicative and represent the Authority's current expectations only.
