UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Anchor Hanover Group procured retained pension advisory services, titled as legal services but described as actuarial and consulting work that may include investment advice. The requirement is for ongoing advice to support the group’s pension arrangements, rather than a defined supply of goods or construction work. The awarded service is classified as legal advisory services. Delivery covers the UK regions represented in the award: North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buyer is Anchor Hanover Group, a housing and care provider. The award was made to Lane Clark & Peacock LLP.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was run as a below-threshold procurement; the recorded method is otherwise unspecified. One lot was awarded to Lane Clark & Peacock LLP. The award date is not stated. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from that date to 30 September 2027, with two possible successive one-year renewals, extending at most to 30 September 2029. Its value is £156,250 excluding VAT (£187,500 including VAT). The stated scope is actuarial and consulting services, potentially including investment advice. No award evaluation criteria are recorded.

For comparable work with Anchor Hanover Group, credible competitors would need to combine pension actuarial expertise with consultancy capability and, where relevant, investment advice. The appointment went to a large professional services firm, indicating that the buyer selected a supplier able to provide retained advisory support across a broad UK footprint. Firms with demonstrable experience advising on pension arrangements and the capacity to sustain an ongoing client relationship would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market. The service is a single, relatively contained advisory appointment rather than a multi-lot programme, so providers should be able to deliver the required specialist work directly or assemble an appropriate team. The award confirms demand for external pension advice from this buyer.
