Summary of the contracting process

East Riding of Yorkshire Council bought specialist pensions advisory services for an interim review of the employer pension contributions it pays to the East Riding Pension Fund. The requirement is a financial services assignment, focused on reviewing contribution obligations rather than general financial advice or insurance provision. The buying organisation is East Riding of Yorkshire Council, based in Beverley. The work is connected with the Council’s employer contributions to the East Riding Pension Fund and is delivered for the Council in East Riding of Yorkshire. The procurement covered one completed requirement. KPMG LLP, a large professional services firm, was selected to provide the advisory support.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to KPMG LLP through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The award is active and relates to one lot. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 February 2027. Its value is £173,100 excluding VAT and £207,720 including VAT. The requirement was evaluated through the Council’s non-competitive below-threshold route rather than an open tender. The contract covers the pensions advisory support needed for the interim review of employer pension contributions payable to the East Riding Pension Fund. No separate award date is recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a council-level demand for specialist pensions advice linked to employer contribution reviews and local government pension fund obligations. Suppliers that could be credible for comparable work would need a strong pensions advisory capability, with the expertise to examine employer contribution arrangements and support an interim review for a public-sector organisation. Relevant firms would also need to turn technical pensions analysis into advice that a council and its pension fund can use in managing contribution liabilities. The buyer used a direct, below-threshold route without competition and selected a large professional services provider, indicating that specialist technical credibility and the ability to handle a defined public-sector assignment are important when this requirement is next considered.
