UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council issued an open procurement process for the appointment of an Independent Member/Chair of the Dyfed Pension Fund Pension Board, aligned with the Local Government Pension Scheme Governance Regulations 2015. This opportunity, classified under pension investment services and management, was to be delivered in the UKL14 region, with the tender period closing on 18th February 2026. Despite the open competitive method detailed via eTenderwales, the procurement concluded without contract award due to insufficient interest, rendering the tender process terminated as of 26th February 2026. The contract was expected to commence on 1st April 2026 and could be extended up to 2031.

This tender presented a significant business opportunity for firms with expertise in pension fund management, particularly those with experience in the Local Government Pension Scheme. It offered an attractive growth avenue for consultancy businesses engaging in financial and stakeholder representation services. Although the process has been terminated, firms equipped with the relevant competencies and willingness to engage could highly benefit from monitoring similar future opportunities and aligning their service portfolios to meet the needs of public authorities like Carmarthenshire County Council.
