UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Ofcom procured pensions and actuarial consultancy and advice services through a call-off arrangement. The requirement is for specialist advice on pensions and actuarial matters, including pension fund consultancy services. Ofcom is the buying organisation, and the supplier is Isio Group Limited. This is a services requirement based in London; the data does not identify a separate delivery location. The work is a single lot, covering the consultancy and advice requirement as a whole. It is relevant to firms providing pension fund consultancy and actuarial advice to public-sector organisations, particularly those able to support an ongoing client relationship rather than a one-off assignment.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Ofcom used a below-threshold limited competition. Isio Group Limited received the active award. The contract was signed on 27 August 2026 and runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with two further 12-month renewal periods and a maximum possible end date of 31 July 2031. The contract value is £180,000 including gross value in GBP. There was one lot, also complete. The procurement data does not set out the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing proposals were assessed is not described here.

This award shows Ofcom buying continuing pensions and actuarial consultancy, including pension fund consultancy, through a limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need demonstrable expertise advising on pension arrangements and actuarial issues, and the capacity to provide responsive support over a multi-year client relationship. Relevant pension fund consultancy experience would be central to demonstrating fit. The selected supplier, Isio Group Limited, is a large consultancy, indicating that an established provider was appointed for this requirement; this does not establish that only large firms can compete. Firms with specialist teams and evidence of delivering comparable advice to public-sector clients may be well placed to demonstrate capability when this specific requirement returns to market.
