This procurement falls under the industry category of pension services, with additional classifications in accounting, auditing, and personnel services. The procurement stage is currently in the planning phase, with key activities including a Supplier Consultation day scheduled for 6th November 2018, and an engagement end date of 30th October 2018 for interested suppliers to express their interest. The objective is to award a five-year contract, potentially commencing on 2nd September 2019, with two extensions available. This tender presents a lucrative opportunity for businesses involved in pension scheme administration and payroll services, particularly those with experience in local government collaborations.
