Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Oxfordshire County Council has completed the award stage for actuarial services, as part of a contract modification within the Actuarial, Benefits, and Governance Consultancy Services Framework (2021), initially awarded in 2017. This process involves the procurement category of group pension services, further classified under pension fund consultancy services. The contract, valued at GBP 700,000, is set to commence on 10th December 2024 and will run until 31st December 2026. The procurement method used was limited, specifically an award without prior publication of a contract notice, and the contract will be delivered in England, United Kingdom.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses providing specialised actuarial and pension consultancy services to engage with public sector operations within the UK. Although the procurement method indicates that the selection was not competitive, understanding the nature of these modifications and the frameworks they operate under can enable other large firms, such as Hymans Robertson LLP, which was the supplier awarded this contract, to position themselves for future opportunities and potential collaboration with councils seeking sophisticated consultancy capabilities.
