two.1.4) Short description
The procurement will comprise 2 lots, each of which will be awarded as a separate contract.
Details of the lots are as follows:
Lot 1:Procurement for the provision of pension administration for the Civil Service Pension Scheme
(“CSPS”)
The CSPS Pension Scheme is managed by the Authority. The current contract expires on 31/12/2023.
The CSPS is the 3rd largest UK occupational pension scheme with approximately 1.6 million members and
300+ employers.
The Authority aims to transform the administration of the CSPS, aspiring to become the UK’s best
administered and managed public-sector pension scheme. We are seeking a supplier who shares our
vision, and will work in partnership to deliver a service that puts member experience at its heart, whilst
also transforming the service for both members and employers. Suppliers must demonstrate a
commitment to and track record for delivering incremental and continuous improvement.
The Authority is therefore looking for proposals to respond to this significant pension administration
services opportunity. This Lot is solely for the administration services of the CSPS and associated schemes
as referred to in para II.2.4 below.
The successful bidder will be expected to work with the Authority in its role as scheme manager, as well
as with all current and potential employers (of whom there are currently around 350) covered by the
scheme.

Lot 2 Procurement for the provision of pension administration for the Royal Mail Statutory Pensions
Scheme (“RMSPS”)
The RMSPS Pension Scheme is managed by the Authority. The current contract expires on 31/09/2024.
The authority wants to ensure the members get the excellent service that they rightly expect. Above all we
want to ensure that the right people get the right benefits at the right time and at the right cost to the
taxpayer.
This procurement is solely for the pension administration services to the RMSPS. The successful pension
administrator will be expected to work with Royal Mail Pension Plan's ("RMPP") pension administrator,
Royal Mail Group Limited ("RMG"), with regard to those members who are beneficiaries in both RMSPS and
RMPP. RMSPS is currently the 6th largest public sector pension scheme in the United Kingdom, with
approximately 365,000 members. The scheme has no active members so there are no accruing costs or
contributions.
