Description
This document is an invitation to participate in a tender opportunity for the supply of legal services relating to civil and criminal enforcement, principally debt recovery for the Board and its subsidiary companies. The services are to be supplied for 2 years with the option to extend for a further 2 periods of 12 months each, a break clause will be enforced after each year to assess and review performance.
This tender opportunity is open to law firms who have the capability to provide such services, covering three jurisdictions; England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland. We appreciate some suppliers may need to subcontract work in other jurisdictions.
AHDB has a nucleus of levy payers who are reluctant to make statutory returns or to pay. Many of these do respond to its reminder process which includes letters before action from its providers of legal services.
