This contract falls under the pension services industry category (CPV code 66520000) and is specifically located in Dudley, England (postal code DY1 1HF). This tender, which has progressed to the award stage and is now complete, was conducted using a selective procurement method, specifically through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period spans from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2031, with an award valued at £52,925. The award was published on 3rd August 2026. The successful supplier for this contract is AVC Wise Limited.

This tender represents a significant business opportunity particularly for large-scale enterprises positioned to offer specialised pension services within framework agreements.

Firms with experience in navigating framework agreements and managing large contracts over extended periods would be particularly well-suited to such projects.
