Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator commissioned consultancy support for its pensions automatic enrolment strategy. The work falls within business and management consultancy services and is delivered in Brighton, England. The requirement is focused on supporting the regulator’s strategy for automatic enrolment, rather than general pensions administration or delivery. The procurement is for services, with the regulator as the buyer. The award identifies PA Consulting Limited as the supplier selected to provide the support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to PA Consulting Limited on 17 September 2026. The award value is £120,000. The contract period runs from 24 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The estimated procurement range was £105,000 to £120,000. The buyer used a selective procedure, making a call-off from a framework agreement. The work was not divided into lots. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not. The available award information identifies the successful supplier but does not provide a separate evaluation breakdown or named award criteria.

This award demonstrates demand from The Pensions Regulator for specialist consultancy on pensions automatic enrolment strategy. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to show relevant pensions and automatic-enrolment expertise, together with the strategic consultancy capability to support a regulator’s policy objectives. The scale of the selected engagement indicates a focused piece of advisory work rather than a large delivery programme, so firms able to assemble an appropriately experienced team for a defined assignment may be well placed. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for this procurement. The route used was a framework call-off, making access to the relevant framework an important factor for suppliers seeking comparable work from this buyer.
