## Summary

The procurement process involves the LGSS (Local Government Shared Services) as the buying organisation, which is based in Northampton, UK. The contract, titled "Invitation to Further Competition under Lot 3 of the National LGPS Framework for Governance Consultancy Services," falls under the industry category of pension fund consultancy services. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the contract was awarded on February 7, 2018, following a tender period that ended on December 21, 2017. The contract spans from April 1, 2018, to March 31, 2024, with a total contract value of £600,000. Governance consultancy services will be provided to the Cambridgeshire County Council and Northamptonshire County Council during this period.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in governance consultancy, particularly those with experience in public sector contracts. Given the substantial contract value and the focus on governance services for pension funds, companies that can demonstrate expertise in regulatory compliance, strategic governance frameworks, and operational efficiency will be well-positioned to compete for future contracts under this framework. Though the awarded supplier, Aon Hewitt Limited, is a large organisation, there will likely be additional future opportunities in this ongoing procurement category for skilled and competitive suppliers.
