## Summary

The UK Department for Education is currently at the Award stage of the tender process for a contract titled "Contract Variation for the Provision of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme Administration". This procurement falls under the services industry category, specifically within pension fund administration services (CPV: 66523100). The contract, which has an estimated value of £213,641,111, is set to run until 30 September 2025, with key modifications arising from legal rulings regarding discrimination in pension schemes. The tender is being executed under the EU regulations, with amendments prompted by the Court of Appeal's decision impacting public service pension schemes.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in pension fund administration and related financial services. Companies equipped to address complex regulatory environments and capable of providing innovative solutions for pension administration will be particularly well-suited to compete. Firms with experience in managing large-scale pensions reconciliations and a strong grasp of the legal implications of pension scheme administration will find this opportunity appealing, particularly given the ongoing need to rectify discriminatory practices as mandated by recent legislation.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

On 20 December 2018, the Court of Appeal ruled that transitional protection arrangements contained within the judges' and firefighters' pensions schemes (the McCloud and Sargeant cases, respectively) were discriminatory on the grounds of age, sex and race. The transitional protection arrangements are policy provisions that were introduced on 31 March 2012 and enabled those who were closest to their normal pension age to stay in the final salary schemes whilst those who were younger transitioned over into the new Career Average Revalued Earnings (CARE) schemes from 1 April 2015. And therefore there is a need to deliver transitional protection discrimination remedy.
