## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service is initiating a tender for the "Future administration of the Civil Service Pension Scheme," aimed at securing pension administration services for the government’s third-largest public sector pension scheme. This procurement process is currently active and falls under "services" in the public procurement category, with a significant contract value of £235 million. The tender period will close on 25 January 2019, while the contract is set to commence on 1 January 2020, lasting until 31 December 2028.

With approximately 1.5 million members under the CSPS and around 350 employers involved, winning this tender would enable a successful bidder to significantly impact the public sector’s pension administration landscape.
