## Summary

The procurement process titled "UK SBS PS18147 - Pensions Expertise" was conducted by UK Shared Business Services Limited, aiming to secure a partner for pensions advice as UK Research and Innovation transitions from public to third sector.

The tender period closed on 29 August 2018, with the contract period starting on 23 November 2018 and concluding on 31 March 2019, with an awarded contract value of £80,000.
