UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Isle of Wight Council procured specialist recruitment for pension consultancy support to the Isle of Wight Pension Fund. The requirement covers the provision of pension consultancy expertise through Matt Collier, supplied via Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd. It is a professional service within the financial and insurance services sector, supporting the Council’s pension fund activities. The work is for the Isle of Wight, with the buying organisation based at County Hall in Newport. This opportunity is relevant to recruitment businesses able to source specialist pension consultants, and to pension consultancy providers that can supply suitably experienced personnel through an appropriate recruitment arrangement. The identified requirement is focused on specialist pension consultancy support rather than general recruitment or broad financial services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was awarded to Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd. The award is active and the contract was signed on 31 July 2026, with a contract period from 1 August 2026 to 31 October 2026. The contract value is £37,050 excluding VAT, or £44,460 including VAT. The award covers financial and insurance services related to the pension consultancy support for the Isle of Wight Pension Fund. Evaluation was not conducted through a competitive tender because the Council used a below-threshold direct procurement route without competition. The selected supplier is Hays Specialist Recruitment Ltd.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from the Isle of Wight Council for specialist pension consultancy support delivered through a recruitment supplier. It is commercially relevant to businesses with access to consultants who understand pension fund advice and can provide suitably matched specialist personnel. Recruitment agencies with established networks in pensions, financial services or insurance may be well placed to meet a similar requirement, particularly where they can manage the identification and supply of an individual consultant. Pension consultancy firms may also find the requirement relevant if they can work through a recruitment or intermediary model. A credible competitor would need demonstrable access to specialist pension expertise, reliable resourcing processes and the ability to support the Council’s pension fund work in the Isle of Wight.
