Summary of the contracting process

Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP) is procuring independent pensions advisory services for its Group Personal Pension arrangement. The appointed adviser will provide strategic advice, governance support and employee member engagement, working with WRAP’s Pensions Forum, HR and Finance teams. The purpose is to help keep the pension scheme well governed, compliant with legislative and regulatory requirements, good value for members and supportive of employee financial wellbeing. The requirement is for pension services, including market insight, innovation and good practice delivered proactively rather than only in response to requests. The work is for WRAP, whose registered address is in Banbury, although the data does not identify a separate delivery location.

The procurement reached tender: WRAP invited offers through a below-threshold open competition, with electronic submission allowed. Questions could be submitted until 21 August 2026 at 23:45, and offers were due by 4 September 2026 at 23:45. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028, with one optional two-year extension available, potentially extending the arrangement to 30 September 2030. The estimated gross value is £120,000. There is one lot. Evaluation is based on methodology 30%, demonstrations 20%, price 30%, delivery 10% and team 10%. The lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits an experienced independent pensions adviser able to provide strategic, governance and member engagement support for a group personal pension scheme. Suppliers should be able to work collaboratively with pension governance, HR and Finance stakeholders, interpret and maintain compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements, and assess value for members. The requirement also favours a proactive adviser that can bring current market insight, innovation and recognised good practice, rather than simply respond to instructions. Relevant providers will need a capable delivery team, a credible methodology and the ability to demonstrate how they would deliver the service. The inclusion of demonstrations in the evaluation makes the ability to explain proposed approaches clearly and practically important. SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable participants.
