Description
LGPS Central Limited manages investments across a range of asset classes to deliver enhanced returns at scale for a pool of local government Partner Funds. The Government's "Fit for the future" proposal is driving volume and capability growth with new Partner Funds joining the pool, existing Partners pooling additional assets and a requirement to deliver evidence-based investment strategy advice emerging in the near term.
We currently have a number of systems in place to facilitate asset management and reporting and as a key component of our Data Strategy require a central platform to consolidate data and enable it to be leveraged more effectively to provide insight and evidence value delivered by the pool.
Our strategy and detailed requirements are currently under development and it is our intent to carry out preliminary engagement with industry partners to establish further details before proceeding to publication of a formal tender notice.
We are keen to hear from suppliers who are able to deliver data platform services, accompanying analytical capabilities and complementary services for operational management of these platforms.
