## Summary

The procurement process for pensions actuarial support has been initiated by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). This contract pertains to providing pensions actuarial advice to help manage the NDA group's pension schemes and liabilities. The contract, valued at £300,000, has been directly awarded to the Government Actuary’s Department, following government policy to utilise public sector entities when available. The procurement method was a direct award and the overall industry category is services. The contract execution starts on 23rd April 2025 and ends on 31st March 2026, operating in Cumbria within the UKD11 region.

This tender opens avenues for firms, particularly those competent in actuarial services within the pension sector, to engage with government entities like the NDA. The direct award process highlights opportunities for collaboration and cost-effective solutions that public service organisations offer. Although large departments primarily benefit, such contracts showcase potential for organisations with similar expertise to align their strategies and capabilities to attract future engagements. The challenge encourages actuarial firms familiar with government dealings to leverage their knowledge and deliver competitive services at par with public expectations.

### Procurement Information

GAD provide actuarial advice within Government and charge for their advice. As a government department, GAD do not aim to make a profit, and their fee rates are designed to cover their costs only and hence are significantly lower than comparable private sector fee rates. Government policy is that departments and other bodies should not buy externally when there is a public sector entity that can provide the advice.
