UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Pensions Regulator has purchased Platinum membership of the Pensions Policy Institute’s Supporting Membership scheme. The membership provides access to the Institute’s pension modelling and research, which the regulator considers useful for its regulatory objectives and understanding the wider policy context. The requirement is for membership services rather than a physical delivery of goods or works. The Pensions Regulator is the buying organisation, and the supplier is based in London. The service is relevant to organisations able to provide specialist pensions policy research, modelling and membership resources for a public-sector regulator.

The procurement is complete and awarded to the Pensions Policy Institute. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026 and runs from 31 October 2026 to 30 October 2029. Its value is £72,000 including tax. The requirement was handled by direct award without competition, below the applicable threshold. It was structured as one lot, covering the membership service. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract; no separate award date is stated. The procurement rationale is the regulator’s continuing use of the Institute’s modelling and research to support its regulatory work and policy understanding.

This award demonstrates continuing demand from The Pensions Regulator for specialist pensions research and modelling through the Pensions Policy Institute’s Supporting Membership scheme. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a strong track record in pension policy analysis, robust modelling capability, and research that helps a regulator understand the wider policy environment and deliver its regulatory objectives. The commercial fit is with organisations able to provide sustained access to relevant research and insight through a membership-style service, rather than a one-off study or general consultancy. The current supplier is a specialist institute, so comparable evidence of expertise, dependable research outputs and relevance to regulatory decision-making would help establish credibility.
