## Summary

Norfolk County Council has completed the procurement process for a Multi Provider Framework Agreement aimed at providing Transition Management Services primarily in support of the Local Government Pension Scheme. This framework is set within the pension services industry category and covers various UK regions. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with significant involvement from regional authorities such as the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, City of Wolverhampton Council, LGPS Central Limited, and others. Contracts were signed on 10 February 2025, with an estimated value of £15,000,000. The services include Transition Management and Implementation Services and Transition Management Advisory Services, with key suppliers like BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Ltd, Macquarie Capital (Europe) Limited, and Mercer Ltd being awarded contracts.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for firms specialised in pension and investment services to expand their business. Suitable candidates include large investment management firms and advisory companies, given the scope and financial scale of the framework. The structured nature of services demanded, such as implementation and advisory management, offers a platform for firms to demonstrate their expertise and win significant contracts within the public pension sector. Businesses with capabilities in providing high-quality, competitive pension services would be best positioned to benefit from such framework agreements.
