Summary of the contracting process

The City of Edinburgh Council procured pension project management support services for pensionable pay rectification programmes. The work covers project management and governance oversight, supporting the Council in managing and governing programmes to correct pensionable pay records or calculations. It is a services requirement delivered in Edinburgh. The procurement was made against the National LGPS Frameworks for Actuarial, Benefits and Governance Consultancy Services 2026, indicating a local-government pension context. The requirement was organised as one lot and covered by the WTO Government Procurement Agreement. It is relevant to pension consultancies, actuarial firms and specialist project management providers with experience of Local Government Pension Scheme work and pension administration rectification programmes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. One bid was received and evaluated electronically. The single award for the project management and governance oversight requirement went to Hymans Robertson. The contract value is £83,070. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The award was made against a national LGPS consultancy framework rather than through a direct standalone procedure. The contract includes a mandatory prompt-payment clause: subcontractors must be paid within 30 days at every stage of the supply chain, with a designated contact for payment difficulties. The supplier must actively monitor payment performance and provide supporting evidence and reports to the Council when requested or scheduled.

This award demonstrates demand from Edinburgh for specialist support combining pension project management, governance oversight and pensionable pay rectification. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical experience of Local Government Pension Scheme environments, pension administration or actuarial and benefits consultancy, and the ability to manage complex rectification programmes through clear governance arrangements. It would also need sufficient project controls, reporting capability and stakeholder management to provide evidence to the Council. Suppliers using subcontractors would need robust supply-chain payment monitoring and reporting, including arrangements to ensure payment within 30 days and a clear route for resolving payment difficulties. Framework experience would also be commercially relevant, particularly participation in national LGPS consultancy routes.
