UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London LGPS CIV Limited sought an external AI and automation implementation partner for its operations. The work covered assessing and refining use cases, developing a phased implementation roadmap, designing and building production-ready solutions, testing and deployment, integration, governance, training and ongoing support. The solutions were intended for investment operations, fund management, client and stakeholder reporting, compliance monitoring and corporate functions. Integration requirements included portfolio management systems, order management systems, fund accounting platforms, Microsoft 365 and Azure, including OneLake and Fabric assets. London CIV is an FCA-authorised alternative investment fund manager managing approximately £30 billion of Local Government Pension Scheme assets for 32 London local authority members and the City of London Corporation. Delivery was across London CIV’s operations in the United Kingdom.

The buyer invited tenders through an open procedure. The enquiry deadline was 11 July 2026 at 17:00 and the tender submission deadline was 25 July 2026 at 12:00. Tenders were to be submitted by email in English. The contract was planned to run from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2027, with a possible extension to 1 October 2028 through one or two additional six-month periods, subject to budget and further project activity. The estimated value was £525,000 excluding VAT and £630,000 including VAT. Quality carried 85% of the evaluation and cost 15%. The procurement was cancelled on 27 August 2026 before tenderers were notified of an evaluation outcome, because London CIV decided to develop the capability internally.

The requirement suited SMEs and suppliers combining AI delivery with strong information security, investment-sector knowledge and regulated-environment experience. A bidder had to provide at least two completed, verifiable AI or automation implementation case studies for investment management firms, such as asset managers, investment managers, alternative investment fund managers, discretionary fund managers or Local Government Pension Scheme asset pools. Each case study needed to show the engagement, solutions, investment-management context, measurable outcomes and a named client reference. Suppliers also needed current ISO 27001 certification or equivalent recognised assurance, such as Cyber Essentials Plus or SOC 2 Type II; adequate financial standing; a named senior responsible individual; and compliance with Procurement Act 2023 exclusion requirements. This opportunity is cancelled and the capability will be retained internally.
