## Summary

The Cleveland Fire Authority is conducting a procurement process titled "Provision of a Salary Sacrifice AVC (Added Voluntary Contribution) Scheme." This tender falls under the services category, specifically related to pension investment services, and is located in the North East of England. The procurement method follows an open procedure, and the tender period will close on 25th June 2021, with the contract period expected to commence on 26th June and end on 27th June 2021.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in pension services, tax consultancy, and financial management solutions, particularly those that can offer innovative marketing strategies to promote the uptake of voluntary contribution schemes. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to compete, as this partnership aims to enhance employee engagement and participation in the pension scheme through a fully-managed solution.

## Notice

The Brigade already offers standard AVCs (Added Voluntary Contributions) with Prudential to corporate staff in the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). Currently AVCs are not generally promoted in any way within Cleveland Fire Brigade; therefore there is a low level of take up with the current standard AVC scheme. The purpose of this procurement exercise is to partner with a new service provider with a view to promoting/marketing a new shared cost AVC scheme with the aim of increasing AVC participants throughout the organisation. The contract agreement will be very much a partnership agreement between the Brigade and the successful contractor which will be delivered by the contractor as a fully-managed solution. This will entail the provision of a dedicated website which incorporates an administration facility to fully-manage employee applications and salary sacrifice data.
