UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Border to Coast Pensions Partnership Limited, an FCA-regulated investment manager based in Leeds, plans to procure remuneration committee advisory services. The work is human resources management consultancy, supporting the organisation’s remuneration committee. Border to Coast manages investments for 18 Local Government Pension Scheme pension funds and oversees assets of about £120 billion; those funds form part of a pension scheme with around seven million members. The service is intended for use by Border to Coast in the United Kingdom. The procurement is planned as a single lot, so suppliers would be competing to provide the advisory service as one package rather than for separately defined workstreams.

This is at the planning stage: Border to Coast has indicated its intention to procure, but has not yet issued an invitation to tender. It plans to use a competitive flexible procedure. The buyer’s expected contract start is 1 March 2027, with an initial term to 31 March 2030 and an option to extend by up to three years, to 31 March 2033, subject to performance and business requirements. The estimated value is £750,000 excluding VAT (£900,000 including VAT). Border to Coast expects a further procurement notice on 14 December 2026 and an award decision by 15 February 2027; expressions of interest are expected by 8 January 2027. Preliminary market engagement is planned, with feedback sought on scope, lotting, contract structure, market developments and the procurement approach. Participation in engagement is voluntary and will not affect evaluation.

The work is relevant to consultancies and advisers with experience supporting remuneration committees, particularly in an investment-management or pension-fund setting. Suppliers able to advise an organisation overseeing substantial public pension investments and serving multiple Local Government Pension Scheme funds may be well placed to contribute. The single-lot structure points to a requirement to deliver the advisory service as a complete package, rather than compete for a defined sub-area. Border to Coast has invited experienced suppliers to contribute to preliminary market engagement, including views on the scope, lotting, contract structure, market developments and procurement approach. That engagement offers a route to inform how the eventual requirement is shaped, but is not a condition of bidding or part of the evaluation. The planned procurement indicates a selective competition, so suppliers should prepare for a later competitive process rather than treat this as an invitation to tender.
