Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Milton Keynes Council procured salary sacrifice additional voluntary contribution services for its workforce. The requirement is a pension service: supporting employees who choose to make additional pension contributions through salary sacrifice arrangements. Delivery covers the South East of England, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Milton Keynes Council. This is a service opportunity for pension providers, workplace savings specialists and organisations able to administer or support additional voluntary contribution schemes linked to payroll and employment benefits. The procurement concerns the council’s employee benefits arrangements rather than construction, goods supply or general financial services. The selected supplier is based in London, while the service delivery area is stated as the South East.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. Milton Keynes Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 12 June 2026, and the contract was awarded on 3 July 2026 to AVC Wise Limited (T/a My Money Matters). The awarded value is £150,000 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2031. The tender was classified as services, with pension services as the relevant classification. The procurement records the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the published outcome identifies one supplier.

This procurement demonstrates established public-sector demand for salary sacrifice additional voluntary contribution services from Milton Keynes Council. Businesses serving workplace pension and employee-benefits markets can use it as a focused indication of the council’s requirement for an externally delivered AVC arrangement. Relevant competitors would need a credible service covering pension administration and member support, with the operational capacity to work alongside a council employer and its payroll or benefits processes. Organisations eligible to use the relevant framework route, including suitable SMEs and VCSEs, may be well placed when comparable council requirements return to market. Pension specialists with experience of public-sector employers, clear employee communications and dependable ongoing scheme administration would be particularly relevant to this requirement.
