Summary of the contracting process

South Tyneside Borough Council procured actuarial services for the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund. This is specialist pension-fund actuarial work, classified under pension fund management services. The requirement is associated with the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund and is delivered in the United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation; Aon Solutions UK Limited was selected as supplier. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering the actuarial-services requirement as a single package. The service is relevant to firms providing actuarial advice and technical support for public-sector pension funds, rather than general pension administration or investment management.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Aon Solutions UK Limited on 9 October 2026. The gross awarded value is £1.4 million. The contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 31 December 2035, with an option for one extension of up to 12 months, potentially extending the term to 31 December 2036. The procurement was a competitive selection under a framework agreement and comprised one lot. The award records the contract period and extension option; no evaluation criteria are stated in the available process details. A future signature milestone is scheduled for 1 November 2026.

This award demonstrates demand from South Tyneside Borough Council for a substantial, long-term actuarial-services package serving the Tyne and Wear Pension Fund, procured competitively through a framework. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need to show specialist actuarial capability relevant to public-sector pension funds, alongside the capacity to support a single, sustained engagement over many years. Experience advising pension-fund clients and delivering reliable actuarial services at this scale would be commercially relevant. The award to Aon Solutions UK Limited provides a clear indication of the type of established specialist supplier selected for this requirement; it does not establish specific qualifications, accreditations or evaluation weightings.
