Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund commissioned human resources management consultancy services to review and enhance its reward framework. The work covers assessment and redesign of the organisation’s pay structure, bonus scheme and benefits offering. Its purpose is to create a modern, flexible and sustainable reward strategy that supports the Pension Protection Fund’s wider people objectives. The requirement is for specialist reward and pay consultancy rather than general recruitment, payroll processing or routine HR administration. The buying organisation is the Pension Protection Fund, a public authority based in Croydon, and delivery is associated with Croydon. The procurement is therefore relevant to consultancies that advise employers on reward strategy, remuneration frameworks, incentive arrangements and employee benefits, particularly where they can combine strategic people advice with practical redesign of pay and reward structures.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. It used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, and the tender was recorded as complete. One lot was awarded to 3R Strategy. The contract was signed on 14 July 2026, with a contract period from 15 July 2026 to 30 November 2026. The awarded contract value is £37,800 gross. The award covers the full requirement for reviewing and enhancing the Pension Protection Fund’s reward framework, including pay structure, bonus scheme and benefits offering. The evaluation route was a non-competitive direct award rather than an open or selective tender. The award is active and the associated contract is active, indicating that the selected supplier is delivering the commissioned consultancy work.

This award demonstrates demand from the Pension Protection Fund for focused consultancy on organisational reward strategy and pay philosophy. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable expertise in reviewing and redesigning pay structures, bonus or incentive schemes, and employee benefits as a connected reward framework. It would also need to translate that analysis into a modern, flexible and sustainable strategy aligned with wider workforce and people objectives, rather than offering isolated benefits advice. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist consultancy rather than only a large professional-services firm. Relevant firms are those with practical experience advising employers on remuneration design, reward governance and implementation, and with the capacity to undertake a defined strategic review for a public-sector organisation.
