Summary of the contracting process

North Northamptonshire Council procured an end-to-end shared-cost additional voluntary contribution (AVC) salary-sacrifice service for employers participating in its Local Government Pension Scheme. The work is a specialist pension administration service, covering the operation of the salary-sacrifice AVC arrangement for those employers. The service is for the council’s Local Government Pension Scheme employers, with delivery in North Northamptonshire, England.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. North Northamptonshire Council awarded the single lot to AVC Wise Limited. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £75,000 excluding VAT (£90,000 including VAT). The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition.

For suppliers considering similar work for North Northamptonshire Council, this award demonstrates demand for an end-to-end shared-cost AVC salary-sacrifice service specifically for Local Government Pension Scheme employers. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate the ability to administer the full arrangement and serve employers within the council’s pension scheme. The selected supplier was AVC Wise Limited, awarded through a direct, non-competitive route; the procurement provides an example of the specialist service and delivery scope the council has bought.
