Central Digital Architecture & Associated Services
- MONEY AND PENSIONS SERVICE
Procurement identifier (OCID): ocds-h6vhtk-050be4
Description
The Government intends to deliver pensions dashboards through statutory provisions introduced by the Pension Schemes Act 2021, The Pensions Dashboards Regulations 2022 (as amended by The Pensions Dashboards (Amendment) Regulations 2023), the Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority and corresponding legislation for Northern Ireland.
This legislation sets out the requirement for pension providers and schemes to connect to the pensions dashboards system. It also empowers the Money and Pensions Service ("MaPS"), to provide the central digital architecture which will enable the pensions dashboard system to work.
The most recent amendment to the legislation, made in July 2023, replaced a phased approach for providers to connect to the dashboards system with a single statutory long-stop connection deadline of 31 October 2026 (the "Statutory Deadline").
MaPS is party to a Central Digital Architecture & Associated Services contract (the "Contract") with Capgemini UK PLC ("CG") to deliver the major components of the digital architecture, including the pension finder service (PFS), the consent and authorisation service, and the governance register, that will enable the system to operate.
The Contract was procured via a call off from RM3084 - Technology Services 2. It was commenced on 3 September 2021 and is due to expire on 2 September 2026 (60 months). The contract as awarded contains two optional extension periods of 1 year each (that is, from 3 September 2026 to 2 September 2027 and from 3 September 2027 to 2 September 2028).
