Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council’s procurement concerns pension and insurance services for South Yorkshire Pensions Authority. The authority provides two products, run through the Leicestershire Pension Scheme: EPIC and DART. The contract covers these services in England. The buyer is Leicestershire County Council, while South Yorkshire Pensions Authority is the selected supplier. This is a public-sector pension-services requirement tied to the operation of those two named products, rather than a general pension administration or insurance commission. Suppliers considering comparable work should therefore focus on capabilities that support the specific products and the authority’s pension-service arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded directly to South Yorkshire Pensions Authority, without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The single lot is complete. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2030. Its stated value is £40,000 excluding VAT (£48,000 including VAT). The award date is not separately reported. No evaluation criteria are recorded; the procurement route did not involve a competitive assessment. The award covers pension and insurance services associated with EPIC and DART, delivered in England.

For suppliers that did not win, this award is evidence that Leicestershire County Council procures ongoing pension and insurance services for South Yorkshire Pensions Authority’s EPIC and DART products. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate relevant pension-services expertise and the operational capability to support these specific products and their delivery. The selected provider is itself a pensions authority, indicating that specialist public-pension-sector experience may be relevant to this requirement. The work is a focused, relatively modest-scale service contract rather than a large programme. The procurement was placed directly without competition, so suppliers should understand the buyer’s route to market and be prepared to show a strong fit with the established product and service arrangements.
