Summary of the contracting process

Gloucestershire County Council has completed a procurement process for a Pensions Integrated Service Provider (ISP), aimed at administering pension fund services categorised under CPV 66523100. The location for this service is within the UKK13 region, covering Gloucester, and it was procured via the National LGPS framework. The process followed a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract was awarded on 1st April 2025 to Heywood Ltd for a value of £184,200, and it spans three years with a potential extension of another three years, reflecting the completion of the award stage.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for entities skilled in pension fund administration services. Companies that can operate within the framework agreements, especially those positioned to handle large-scale and long-term service commitments, would find this contract particularly well-suited. Large-scale enterprises, like Heywood Ltd, which was successfully awarded the contract, demonstrate the competitive landscape that prioritizes efficient, cost-effective service provision within the public sector. Businesses with a robust presence in the UK, specifically within the public services domain, are best aligned to compete for similar future opportunities.
