Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund bought workforce solutions: services to source interim contractors and consultants for its staffing needs. This is a recruitment services requirement, covering the identification and provision of temporary contractors and consultants rather than permanent recruitment. Delivery is associated with the Pension Protection Fund’s site at 12 Dingwall Road, Croydon, and the wider London area. The service falls within the broader professional recruitment and contingent workforce market. It is relevant to recruitment agencies, managed service providers and specialist workforce suppliers that can identify suitable interim professionals and consultants for a public-sector pension protection organisation.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a selective call-off from the RM6288 Workforce Solutions framework. The contract was awarded to Alexander Mann Solutions Limited on 4 December 2023, at a value of £2,040,000. The contract period runs from 15 July 2025 to 5 August 2031. The tender submission deadline was 14 July 2025 at 23:59. The requirement was classified as recruitment services and was treated as a services procurement. The published outcome records one active award to Alexander Mann Solutions Limited. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates sustained demand from the Pension Protection Fund for outsourced sourcing of interim contractors and consultants. A credible competitor for this requirement would need an established recruitment operation, access to networks of suitably skilled interim professionals and consultants, and the capacity to manage sourcing at the scale required by a public-sector client. Experience of delivering contingent workforce or recruitment services through a framework call-off would be directly relevant. Suppliers should also be able to provide a reliable, responsive service for identifying candidates, managing the recruitment process and supporting the buyer’s changing requirements throughout a long-term workforce solutions arrangement.
