Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hampshire County Council is buying pension administration software for the Hampshire Pension Fund. The system is needed to administer the Local Government Pension Scheme and support pension services provided to Hampshire County Council, Hampshire Constabulary, and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. This is a software supply requirement, rather than a general IT services contract. Delivery is associated with Winchester, Hampshire. The arrangement is intended to continue the provision of pension administration software for the fund. The procurement was made through the Government Commercial Agency/Crown Commercial Service Vertical Application Solutions Framework, specifically its software solutions lot.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Civica UK Limited on 9 September 2026. It was a selective framework call-off, rather than an open standalone competition. The award and estimated contract value are both £2.6 million. The contract runs from 30 September 2026 to 29 September 2031. The earlier tender deadline was 18 August 2026. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier is a large business. No lots are described. The recorded outcome establishes the selected supplier and award value; no evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated in the available procurement details.

For suppliers tracking demand in public-sector pensions technology, this award shows Hampshire County Council’s requirement for a dedicated system to administer a Local Government Pension Scheme serving a county council, police force and fire and rescue service. A credible competitor would need a mature pension administration software product capable of supporting the fund’s ongoing administration and the needs of these participating bodies. The framework call-off route is also commercially relevant: suppliers seeking comparable work would need access to the relevant framework route, rather than relying only on open standalone tenders. The selected provider is a large supplier, while the requirement was also considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialists may be relevant where they can demonstrate the necessary product capability and delivery capacity.
