UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Harrow procured additional pension administration support services for its Pension Administration Team. The work is intended to support business-as-usual pension administration activities and help the council maintain statutory service standards. In practical terms, the requirement concerns supplying personnel, including temporary staff, to supplement the existing administration function. The buying organisation is the London Borough of Harrow, a public authority in north-west London, and the service relates to its council pension administration operations. The awarded supplier, Hymans Robertson LLP, is a large professional services firm based in London. The requirement is service-based rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to pension administration providers, specialist public-sector support firms and organisations able to provide suitably capable administrative personnel for council services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Hymans Robertson LLP was selected for the single lot and received the award. The contract was signed on 1 September 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 December 2026. Its value is £38,000 excluding VAT, or £45,600 including VAT. The contract is active. The published outcome records the requirement as a service for supplying personnel, including temporary staff, to support pension administration. The evaluation basis was therefore the council’s direct-award decision rather than a competitive scoring exercise. This was a short-term arrangement for additional support to the Pension Administration Team and its business-as-usual statutory work.

For a supplier that did not win this arrangement, the procurement is evidence that the London Borough of Harrow uses external support to reinforce pension administration capacity and protect statutory service standards. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need practical experience of pension administration, the ability to provide additional personnel for business-as-usual workloads, and sufficient operational capacity to integrate with a council team at short notice. Familiarity with public-sector pension processes, statutory obligations, accurate case administration and service-level discipline would strengthen its position. The selected supplier’s profile also indicates that the buyer accepted a substantial specialist provider for this requirement, so competitors should be able to demonstrate reliable delivery, appropriately skilled staff, clear quality controls and the resilience to support a local authority’s ongoing administration function.
