Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Border to Coast Pensions Partnership Limited, located at 5th Floor Toronto Square, Leeds, involved the direct purchasing of goods, specifically AON's Radford McLagan Compensation database. This falls under the industry category of database systems. The procurement bypassed competition due to its below-threshold nature. The contracting process has been completed, with the contract awarded to AON UK Limited, a large scale supplier based in London. The contract was awarded on 10th July 2026 and covers a contract period from 14th July to 31st July 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in database systems and related goods, as it highlights the demand for specialised data solutions in public sector procurement. Large-scale suppliers with established resources and expertise in providing complex database systems stand to benefit greatly from such procurement processes. Small to medium enterprises with niche offerings in compensation data and benchmarking could find room to grow by forming strategic partnerships or positioning themselves for future direct procurement opportunities, where competition is less stringent.
