Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund bought records management and confidential waste shredding services for its operations in London. The requirement covers the handling and management of records together with the secure destruction of confidential waste. It is a services procurement, classified under records management (CPV 79996100). The work was procured as a call-off from the CCS RM6175 Records Information Management, Digital Solutions and Associated Services framework, so it relates to a defined public-sector records and information management supply route rather than a standalone open-market contract. Businesses in this field would need to support the Pension Protection Fund’s London-based requirements across both records management and confidential document destruction.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 20 January 2023 at 13:00 UTC, and the contract was awarded to Restore plc on 14 February 2023. The awarded value is £80,000. The contract runs from 25 February 2023 to 24 February 2027, with an optional three-year extension structured as two years plus one year; the full potential term would end on 24 February 2030. The published requirement describes the £80,000 value as accounting for the potential seven-year term. The contract is for one service requirement delivered in London, and the procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from the Pension Protection Fund for a combined records management and confidential waste shredding service delivered in London. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capability in managing business records securely, controlling their storage or handling, and destroying confidential waste in a dependable and auditable way. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that operational capacity and the ability to manage the buyer’s complete requirement were important in practice, although the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs. Relevant businesses would also need access to the CCS RM6175 framework route, or an equivalent route used by the buyer, and the ability to provide a joined-up service rather than only one isolated activity.
