Purpose

Not procuring an external partner, would
potentially leave the authority with limited ability to collect
approximately £260m per annum in relation to unpaid Council
Tax, Business Rates, Parking Control Notices (PCN’s) and
other unpaid Council charges, which would impact adversely on the
Council’s budget. It would also mean that the London Borough
of Harrow would be unable to fulfil its statutory duty to issue
bills.Cabinet authorisation of the procurement was required to
comply with the Council’s Contract Procedure Rules
