Border to Coast, a sub-central government public authority located in Leeds, aims to enhance investment management for its Partner Funds across public listed, private markets, and real estate asset classes. The procurement involved an open competitive flexible procedure with a focus on creating a unified data platform capable of interoperating with several third-party service providers. The award for this contract, valued at £31.2 million, was granted to BlackRock Financial Management, Inc, commencing on 19 December 2025 and is set to run until 18 December 2030, with the possibility of a five-year extension. This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in software package and information systems and financial services. Large-scale companies with expertise in these sectors are encouraged to engage, offering solutions that meet the detailed functional requirements set by Border to Coast. The objective is to deliver an integrated data platform capable of managing cross-asset investments efficiently, thereby enhancing the strategic delivery outcomes. Businesses leveraging cutting-edge technologies and innovative financial solutions could gain from this substantial and long-term development project, advancing their service offerings and industry standing. ## Notice Border to Coast has propositions within Public Listed, Private Markets, and Real Estate asset classes that deliver investment opportunities and management to our Partner Funds, with specific systems in place for each asset class. As part of our strategy to become more effective and efficient, whilst being able to offer more value to our Partner Funds, we need to implement a platform that enables management of, and insight into, Partner Fund cross-asset investments. Border to Coast wishes to procure an Enterprise Investments platform that creates a unified and integrated data layer as the foundation that enables the efficient and effective implementation of new investments capabilities. These capabilities will be core to our ongoing delivery of strategic outcomes to our Partner Funds. The platform needs to have interoperability with our administrator and other third parties, such as Partner Fund custodians, to enable the on-going management of Border to Coast's own investment funds (including public market and private market funds). Additionally, the platform needs to enable Border to Coast to manage the 'whole customer fund' and the provision of these new capabilities. For clarity, 'whole customer fund' relates to Partner Fund holdings within their selected investment funds across multiple asset classes, inclusive of any Partner Fund assets not managed directly by Border to Coast ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The contract will have an initial term of 5 years, and will have the option of one additional 5 year extension. ### Planning Information Initial discussions have taken place since November 2024, with at least 5 suppliers, to understand propositions available within the areas of interest to Border to Coast. This has included offering overviews in the areas of Portfolio Management, Total Portfolio Analysis, Asset Allocation and Investment Data Management. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022465-2026 | | Notice type | UK7 - Contract Details Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Goods | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Competitive flexible procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Mar 2026 | | Submission deadline | 11 Jul 2025 | | Future notice date | 16 Jun 2025 | | Award date | 16 Sep 2025 | | Contract period | 19 Dec 2025 - 18 Dec 2030 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,000,000 | | Lots value | £25,000,000 | | Awards value | £25,000,000 | | Contracts value | £26,000,000 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BORDER TO COAST PENSIONS PARTNERSHIP LIMITED | | Additional buyers | LIQUEO LIMITED | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 2HJ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Holborn & Covent Garden | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | BLACKROCK FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 48000000 - Software package and information systems - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services ## Release History - 12 Mar 2026 at 15:39 - Award - UK7 - Contract Details Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022465-2026 - 22 Sep 2025 at 10:19 - Award - UK6 - Contract Award Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058415-2025 - 25 Jun 2025 at 14:14 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035144-2025 - 6 May 2025 at 15:23 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019195-2025 - 6 May 2025 at 14:46 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019169-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/022465-2026 12th March 2026 - Contract details notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/058415-2025 22nd September 2025 - Contract award notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/035144-2025 25th June 2025 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019195-2025 6th May 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/019169-2025 6th May 2025 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/Register - https://procontract.duenorth.com/Login/Index?ReturnUrl=/Login/LogoutConfirmation - https://www.blackrock.com/ - https://www.bordertocoast.org.uk - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.liqueo.com/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
