Summary of the contracting process

BORDER TO COAST PENSIONS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED, a public authority acting as a sub-central government entity in the United Kingdom, is overseeing the procurement process for "Investment Platform Consultancy Support". This procurement, classified under systems and technical consultancy services, is intended to aid in the efficient and effective implementation of an investments and data platform. This process was initiated through a direct award method, with Liqueo Limited in London appointed as the supplier. The contract, valued at £237,840, commenced on 15 May 2025 and will conclude on 8 August 2025, covering multiple regions across the United Kingdom. Due to the urgency and specific technical reasons, the open procurement process was bypassed to mitigate operational risks and meet timelines critical to BORDER TO COAST PENSIONS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED's operational requirements.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in systems and technical consultancy services, particularly those with expertise in investment platforms and working with asset managers and third-party administrators. Companies that have adeptness in understanding public procurement processes and the specific needs of asset owners will find it ideal to participate. SMEs and firms with the capacity to engage in short-term, high-impact projects are well-suited to compete for such procurement initiatives that require detailed knowledge and rapid implementation capabilities.

Notice Description

Contract details notice for Investment Platform Consultancy Support. Please see previous notices for detailed requirements.

Procurement Information

3 tenders were assessed on a Most Advantageous Tender basis, the scoring of which has been formally documented. The expected spend for this service is over threshold and so an open procurement would have been the usual course of action, but the decision was made not to on the basis that this is a short term piece of work which we require to commence urgently in order to ensure that we adhere to the timeline of the business and deliver required outcomes to our Partner Funds. If an open process was followed at this stage, it would be highly unlikely that a system would be implemented prior to the required deadlines, which would pose operational risk and resilience impacts to the organisation and our Partner Funds.
