Design consultancy services

Description

The board of the Pension Protection Fund would like to procure a new framework agreement of specialist firms to provide administration, actuarial, support and consultancy services. NEST may also choose to contract for services via a call-off from the framework. The final value of the framework across the maximum term may fall within a huge range as it has been set up to be available for future call-offs for requirements that we may not currently be aware of. Lot 1 is primarily for services to the board where both administration and actuarial services and/or pensions consultancy may be required at the same time, firms on this lot have direct experience in the pensions industry. Lot 2 is aimed at firms with specialist actuarial capabilities who will have experience in either the pensions or insurance industries. Firms on lot 2 are therefore able to provide a broad scope of the specified actuarial consultancy services, although not necessarily all, as the intention was to establish a reasonable pool of suppliers who are capable of delivering any specific call-off contract we intend to seek to award.
