Administration Software procurement will be delayed.\nThe original timetable anticipated publication in late March 2026. However, following the second Request for Information (RFI), we received a significant volume of supplier feedback, which we are currently reviewing in detail.\nIn addition, a programme-wide review is underway covering all strategic projects scheduled for delivery within the forthcoming 2026/27 Business Plan. This review is likely to result in revisions to the timelines for a number of projects, including this procurement.\nWe will provide a further update as soon as the revised timetable has been formally approved.\nKind regards\nPPF" } ] }, { "id": "060393-2026", "description": [ { "releaseID": "060393-2026", "releaseDate": "2026-06-26T14:18:24+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planningUpdate" ], "value": "UPDATE 26 June 2026\nDear Suppliers,\nFurther to our previous communication regarding the delay to the Pension Administration Software procurement, we wish to provide an update on the anticipated timetable.\nFollowing the wider programme review across strategic initiatives, the procurement is now expected to be paused for a prolonged period.\nAt this stage, the procurement will not progress before January 2028, with ITT publication due in April 2028. This reflects the need to align the project with revised organisational priorities resulting from the emergence of mandatory statutory projects requiring substantially the same resource.\nThe PPF has appropriate contractual provisions in place within the current service arrangement to ensure continuity of service during any implementation period in the event that a different service provider is appointed following the procurement.\nThese dates should be regarded as an estimate. We will continue to keep the market informed of any material developments or changes to this position via the publication of appropriate FTS notices.\nWe thank you for your continued interest and engagement to date.\nKind regards,\nPPF" } ] } ] }, "language": [ { "releaseID": "012147-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-04-01T09:54:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": "en" } ], "extensions": [ { "releaseID": "012147-2025", "releaseDate": "2025-04-01T09:54:51+01:00", "releaseTag": [ "planning" ], "value": [ "https://standard.open-contracting.org/profiles/eu/latest/en/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_amendment_rationale_classifications_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_budget_breakdown_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_contract_completion_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_documentation_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_pagination_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/open-contracting-extensions/ocds_suitability_extension/master/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/portaledcahn/ocds_Links_extension/main/extension.json", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cabinetoffice/ocds_uk_extension/main/extension.json" ] } ] } } ] }
