## Summary

The procurement process conducted by South Tyneside Borough Council for the "Additional Voluntary Contribution Scheme" falls under the services category, specifically focusing on pension investment services. The procurement method was limited, executed through an award procedure without prior publication, as it falls outside the usual scope of a directive. The location for this procurement is the UKC region, with a contract awarded to AVC Wise Limited (Trading as My Money Matters) on 15th December 2025. The procurement is now complete and active, with the contract valued at £3,347,110. The project is related to a salary sacrifice scheme for additional voluntary contributions and was directly called off from a Portsmouth Council Framework.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in financial services and pension management, particularly those familiar with salary sacrifice schemes and public sector frameworks. Large-scale companies like AVC Wise Limited, which can offer comprehensive and tailored pension investment services, would be well-suited to compete in such procurement processes. Businesses looking to expand their portfolio in managing public sector employee benefits or those possessing the capacity to deliver large-scale financial services effectively would find this contract beneficial for growth. Given the specialised nature of the procurement, firms with expertise in direct-award processes would find it advantageous.
