Summary of the contracting process

The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) commissioned business and management consultancy support for an ongoing internal review of its governance function. The review is assessing whether current governance arrangements remain fit for purpose and can support the PPF’s requirements now and in the future. The work is consultancy services, delivered for the PPF in Croydon, England. The procurement comprised one lot and the selected supplier was PA Consulting Services Limited. The requirement is focused on reviewing governance arrangements within a public-sector organisation, rather than providing general management consultancy across unrelated functions.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. The PPF used a below-threshold limited competition. PA Consulting Services Limited was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 13 October 2026. The award date is not stated. The contract runs from 14 October to 31 December 2026. Its value is £47,250 excluding VAT (£56,700 including VAT). The procurement record does not provide a separate evaluation or award-criteria basis, so the basis on which the competing suppliers were assessed cannot be described.

For consultancies tracking recurring governance-review work at the PPF, this award demonstrates demand for focused advice on whether governance arrangements remain fit for purpose and can meet evolving organisational requirements. A credible competitor would need demonstrable experience reviewing governance functions, assessing existing arrangements against current and future needs, and turning findings into practical advice for a public-sector client. The single-lot requirement and limited-competition route indicate a contained consultancy commission rather than a broad, multi-lot programme. PA Consulting Services Limited was selected; the available details do not identify specific accreditations, team requirements or evaluation weightings, so competitors should not assume those were decisive. Relevant firms can use this award to understand the type of specialist governance capability the PPF has previously commissioned.
