Lot Information

Lot 1

Nest has established a Framework Agreement for the Provision of Technical Architecture Services, to support Nest with access to technical consultancy support for the implementation and delivery of changes to the Nest scheme administration and related services. This framework agreement will run for 4 years. The scheme administration services allow Employers to enrol their workers into the nest pension scheme and then make contributions to their accounts. Nest has been operational since 2012 and has already enrolled over 12 million members. Nest has recently contracted with a scheme administration provider to transform the services which will include a significant change to the way the services are delivered and the underlying technical platform. This will enable Nest and the Scheme Administrator to better serve our customers. This requirement will provide Nest with experience across Technical Architecture, Service Operation and DevSecOps methodologies and tools in a Cloud Based environment. It is Nest's preference that that majority of the services are delivered by a single resource and supported by a wider team for more specific service outputs.
