Notice Title

Contract to Provide Accounting Support Services to the Operator of an Authorised Contractual Scheme

Notice Description

There are thirty three local authority pension funds in London which are part of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), a national scheme administered on a local basis. Currently, the thirty three funds (32 London boroughs and the City of London Corporation) each manage their pension investments independently. In the future, the administering authorities have decided to collaborate on the management and investment of their pension fund assets to deliver efficiencies, economies of scale and improvement in operations. The most appropriate vehicle for creating numerous benefits, whilst retaining local accountability and decisions making by the individual funds is the proposed Collective Investment Vehicle (CIV), structured as an Authorised Contractual Scheme (ACS) with an authorised ACS Operator and fund. London CIV is now looking for a provider to supply accounting services and this tender is looking for proposals from suitably qualified candidates for the provision of Accounting Support Services to the Operator of an ACS for a period of 3 years (with an option to extend the contract for a further three years or part thereof).
