Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by LONDON LGPS CIV LIMITED, headquartered on the 4th Floor, 22 Lavington Street, London, centred around the procurement of "Asset Class Modelling & Allocation Services". This contract focuses on services that will assist in delivering asset class modelling and allocation strategies across public and private market strategies for the London Local Authority LGPS. The procurement falls under the services industry, more specifically under financial market operational services (CPV Code: 66151000). The open procurement method adopted was a competitive flexible procedure, with the award granted to Mercer Limited. The procurement has progressed into the award stage as of 1 August 2025, with the contract period commencing on 1 September 2025 and extending till 31 August 2028, incorporating the possibility of renewal based on performance and continued necessity of services.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in financial data modelling and risk analysis, particularly those capable of supporting comprehensive market strategies. While the award has gone to a large-scale supplier, smaller enterprises specialising in financial services, analytics, or scenario-based risk modelling could have potentially bid for related opportunities if they had the capability to offer competitive, innovative solutions. The procurement’s focus on both public and private market strategies implies that businesses with a robust track record in providing financial modelling services to institutional clients, especially within local government or similar sectors, would find this kind of tender particularly appealing and aligned with their strategic growth objectives. Successful bidders would need to demonstrate an ability to scale services and incorporate responsible investment practices, suggesting an open field for businesses adept in these competencies to position themselves for future contracts.
