Summary of the contracting process

London & Quadrant Housing Trust is seeking pension services through two lots. One covers consultancy, actuarial, secretarial and investment services; the other covers pension administration. The work supports the Trust’s pension arrangements, with delivery specified across the United Kingdom. The consultancy and investment lot combines advisory, actuarial, secretarial and investment responsibilities, while the second lot is focused on administering pensions. Suppliers may find either lot relevant depending on whether their strengths lie in professional pension advice and investment services, or in the operational administration of pension schemes.

The buyer invited offers using a competitive flexible procedure. The process has five stages: initial screening, a procurement-specific questionnaire assessment, quality evaluation, price evaluation and presentation evaluation. The submission deadline was 23 October 2026, and the expected award decision date was 9 December 2026. Both contracts were planned to start on 14 June 2027 and run to 13 June 2032, with renewal options described as 5+5 and a possible maximum end date of 13 June 2037. The estimated value is £5 million for consultancy, actuarial, secretarial and investment services, and £2 million for pension administration. For each lot, scoring is 50% quality, 30% cost and 20% presentation. English-language electronic submissions were permitted.

Both lots were identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making the opportunity relevant to specialist firms as well as larger providers. The first lot suits suppliers able to combine pension consultancy with actuarial expertise, secretarial support and investment services. The second is directed at firms with pension administration capability. Across the two lots, bidders should be prepared for screening and questionnaire assessment, followed by evaluation of service quality and price, and a presentation stage. The evaluation places greater weight on quality than cost, with presentation also scored, so suppliers should be able to demonstrate a strong service approach and communicate it effectively. The multi-year arrangements, with renewal options, favour providers able to sustain delivery over an extended period.
