## Summary

The procurement process for the "Provision of Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contribution Scheme" was conducted by Hull City Council, targeting the benefit services industry in the Yorkshire and the Humber region, United Kingdom. This process is in the award stage, with the contract period spanning from 16th January 2026 to 30th November 2027. The procurement method was a direct award due to the limited market presence, with AVC Wise Ltd. being the sole supplier capable of providing this service under the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 2013. The tender was completed and published on 25th February 2026.

This procurement presents limited direct opportunities for business growth due to the specific nature of the service and the lack of competition in the market. It is primarily suitable for large enterprises with capabilities in providing shared cost AVC schemes compliant with pension regulations. While small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary and community sector enterprises may not find direct opportunities here, they could explore potential collaboration or sub-contracting arrangements with AVC Wise Ltd. to leverage related business opportunities.

## Notice

The SCAVC (Shared Cost Additional Voluntary Contribution) scheme allows employees to make additional pension contributions, the additional contributions are deducted from the employee's salary prior to Income Tax and National Insurance deductions, meaning savings are made for the employee and the employer (Hull City Council). Currently there is only one supplier in the market - AVC Wise Ltd. who are able to provide this service that is under regulation 17 of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) Regulations 2013 (the 2013 Regulations).
