Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by the South Yorkshire Pensions Authority focused on sourcing "Pensions Administration Software Services" within the IT services industry category, primarily covering consulting, software development, Internet, and support. The buying organisation, located in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, in region UKE3, has completed this procurement process, which was in the Award stage as of 18th November 2025. The procurement method was a limited process through a framework agreement, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as it fell outside the directive's scope.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in IT services, particularly those offering software development and support for pension administration systems. Large-sized enterprises, like Civia UK td, which successfully secured the contract, demonstrated their capability to meet the high-quality (70%) and cost (30%) criteria, suggesting similar firms can excel in such tenders. Although the awarded contract was active as of 11th February 2022, the process indicates a viable path for businesses aiming to expand within public sector contracts by providing specialised technical services.
