The services will include legal services for the recovery of all outstanding debt owed to Camden, excluding parking and council tax / National Non-Domestic Rates (NNDR).

Contractor services will be employed on a case-by-case basis once all the internal processes have been exhausted in the pursuit of the debt, the council said.

The firm will act for the council from letters before action to litigation through to enforcement.

The contract is due to start on 1 October 2024 and run until 30 September 2030.
