Severn Trent Water has gone out to tender with an AMP7 contract for high court enforcement services on behalf of itself and sister company Hafren Dyfrdwy Cyfyngedig worth an estimated £3.9 million.

The contract covers the provision of High Court enforcement services for the collection of outstanding water debt.
The water company is looking to appoint a panel of High Court Enforcement Officers to assist with the collection of outstanding water debt - there are 2 key elements to the service :
Step 1: administrative. This means applying for County Court Judgments to be transferred to the High Court. This is called the Transfer Up Process, (TUP). If successful, the court issues a "writ of control"
Step 2: enforcement. This is "enforcing the writ of control", i.e., collecting the debt
Estimated total value of the contract is £3,900,000.
Initial contract term is 36 months with four further annual extension options.
Severn Trent is looking to appoint up to three suppliers to the framework agreement.
