Opportunity overview

MaPS is undertaking preliminary market engagement in relation to the future commissioning of its provision of National Debt Advice Services, currently delivered under six National Debt Contracts and invites the market to participate in preliminary market engagement, prior to any procurement process. MaPS seeks to engage with the market at this early stage, to test assumptions, improve understanding of delivery models and capabilities, and inform the future commissioning considerations. Through market engagement, MaPS seeks to: - share initial thinking and intentions in relation to the future commissioning of national debt advice services; - gather feedback from the market to help inform future service design and delivery models; - explore market capability, capacity, innovation and integration opportunities; - understand how future services might reflect changes in technology and digital delivery, client preferences and behaviours, data and reporting, emerging developments such as automation and artificial intelligence; - consider how national services may align with wider MaPS‑funded services, including the Community‑Based Debt Advice (CBDA) provision. This engagement is exploratory, non-binding and does not constitute the commencement of a procurement process.

Description
The purpose of this notice is to share with interested parties that Pre Market Engagement has begun regarding the upcoming procurement of the National Debt Advice Services. Pre Market Engagement activity to date has involved MS Teams meetings with interested parties between 16 March 2026 and 20 March 2026, where MaPS shared details of future intentions with respect to the re-procurement of the National Debt Contracts. In order to ensure complete transparency, MaPS is sharing details of all information shared within the meetings, along with a log of all questions and responses. This information can be obtained by emailing commercial@maps.org.uk, referencing this PME notice. MaPS intends to hold future pre market engagement event(s) in early summer 2026, likely via an MS Teams Webinar, with further activity anticipated to continue until January 2027. This notice will be updated in due course with further details. Interested parties are required to register an expression of interest by emailing commercial@maps.org.uk . Your details will be held for the purposes of alerting you to future market engagement activity. Participation in preliminary market engagement is not a condition of participation in any future procurement exercise and will not confer any advantage in any subsequent procurement. MaPS will take appropriate steps to ensure that engagement does not distort competition or result in unfair advantage.
