Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund has completed the contracting process for their "Restructuring and Pre-Insolvency Services (RPIS) Framework" with a focus on pension services. This initiative, employing an open procedure above the threshold, sought to provide comprehensive support when scheme employers face corporate restructuring and insolvency proceedings. The contract, valued at £2,400,000, runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2027. The procurement, undertaken by the Pension Protection Fund headquartered in Croydon, England, was initially published on 30th September 2024, with tender submissions closing on 4th November 2024.

This framework presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in pension-related restructuring and advisory services, particularly those experienced in navigating complex financial reorganisations. SMEs are particularly encouraged to engage, given the suitability criteria outlined, though the current awardees are large firms. Companies providing accounting and covenant advisory services, capable of safeguarding employer and scheme interests during financial duress, would find this framework beneficial for expanding their consultancy and advisory roles within the United Kingdom’s public sector.
