Feasibility Study and Proof of Concept for an Online Payment Dispute Resolution Tool for SMEs

LawtechUK is looking to establish a tech-enabled online dispute resolution platform for SMEs. As Phase 1 of this project, LawtechUK is looking for a technical delivery partner (individually or through a consortium) to: 1) Produce a feasibility study for the development of an online system for SMEs to resolve late payment related disputes and, if needed, to be able to enforce the outcome of the resolution process against the debtor. The study would need to establish the user needs and the legal mechanisms for resolution and enforcement, and include a technical design, timeline and business case for development of a full system. 2) Develop a proof of concept to demonstrate the findings and outcomes of the feasibility study, and support the business case.
