Summary of the contracting process

LGPS Central Limited is procuring an integrated environmental, social and governance (ESG), climate and sustainability data and analytics solution. The service will support investment decision-making, responsible investment and stewardship across the organisation’s portfolios, as well as regulatory and client reporting. The requirement covers software, computer systems and data services, including reliable and resilient data provision, analytics and reporting support. Delivery is for LGPS Central Limited in Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. The procurement is a service requirement for a platform and associated data capability rather than a one-off data purchase, and is relevant to suppliers offering ESG datasets, ratings, sustainability analytics, reporting tools, data integration or related investment technology.

The procurement reached tender: LGPS Central Limited invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure, with one response to the invitation to tender assessed across four stages, including an interim assessment. The tender deadline was 6 October 2026 at 12:00 noon, and the award decision was due by 2 November 2026 at 23:59. The single lot has an estimated gross value of £1,500,000. The initial contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028, with three optional 12-month extensions available at the Authority’s discretion, allowing a maximum end date of 30 November 2031. Evaluation is based on ESG ratings methodology (20%), data coverage and dataset quality (25%), data governance and assurance (10%), delivery, integration and implementation (10%), client service and account management (5%), net price (20%), and a platform demonstration (10%) for suppliers reaching final assessment.

This opportunity suits established ESG and sustainability data providers, investment analytics businesses and technology suppliers able to combine authoritative datasets with a usable analytics and reporting platform. Strong capability in ESG ratings methodology, broad and high-quality dataset coverage, data governance, assurance and demonstrable data resilience will be important. Suppliers should be able to deliver integration and implementation into investment and reporting environments, provide ongoing client service and account management, and demonstrate the platform to the required standard. Relevant experience may include supporting responsible investment, stewardship, climate or sustainability analysis, regulatory reporting and client reporting. Businesses able to adapt datasets, analytical tools, integrations and disclosures as methodologies, asset classes, reporting frameworks and stakeholder requirements evolve are particularly well placed.
