## Summary

Norfolk County Council, alongside several other authorities, has established a comprehensive framework agreement for Investment Management Consultancy Services intended to support the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). This framework covers a wide range of advisory services such as investment strategy review and asset liability modelling, catered towards maintaining high investment governance standards. This process has reached the award stage, with contracts signed on 19th October 2022. The procurement method adopted was an open procedure, ensuring broad participation and competitive pricing. Although the framework is expected to handle business totalling up to £25,000,000, there is no guaranteed volume of business, offering flexibility to the councils involved.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultancy firms, particularly those with expertise in managing pension funds, strategic asset allocation, and responsible investment strategies. Large-scale companies and SMEs alike are encouraged to engage, as the framework supports robust investment governance through specialist advice and training assistance. Firms that can provide diverse investment consultancy services and have a strong grasp of regulatory compliance within the pension sector will be well-suited to compete for contracts under this framework. With multi-provider participation allowed, businesses have the chance to innovate and expand their reach within the public sector, tapping into similar coordinated investment management initiatives.
