This procurement process, managed under an open procedure, aims to secure specialist administration support for manual benefit calculations associated with the NHS Pensions McCloud Programme. Key dates include the enquiry period ending on 1 June 2026, the tender submission deadline on 9 June 2026, and anticipated contract commencement on 24 July 2026. The services are required across the United Kingdom, with the contract initially set for 13 months, potentially extendable by three months. An estimated budget of £4,000,000 is allocated for this initiative. This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses proficient in pension fund management and complex calculation processing, especially those equipped to handle manual workloads. Given the statutory requirements and the complexity of cases involved, companies with experience in similar sectors and compliance with qualifications such as ISO27001 and ISO9001 are well-suited to compete. These organisations can leverage their expertise to provide the necessary manual calculations required to inform Remedial Service Statements for NHS scheme members. Additionally, the open procedure and preference for SMEs enhance access for smaller enterprises aiming to expand their public sector portfolio. ## Notice Pension scheme administration support to undertake manual benefit calculations that will allow NHSBSA to produce Remedial Service Statements (RSS) relating to the McCloud Judgement. The contract will cover one period of 13 months. As part of the NHS Pensions McCloud Programme, there is a statutory requirement to provide remedy offers to members found to be discriminated against by the 2015 pension reforms. This activity involves NHS Pensions undertaking a range of complex calculations to determine the sums owed to affected members, allowing them to make their remedy choice. Automation has been applied where possible. However, due to the complexity of the NHS Pension Scheme, a significant portion of these cases will still rely on a level of manual calculation processing. Specialist pensions administration services are required from the supplier market to complete these manual calculations. This will allow NHSBSA to produce the Remedial Service Statements (RSS) and communicate these to scheme members. NHSBSA categorises its scheme members into either 'Officer / Non-Practitioner' or 'Practitioner'. The contract that will result from this UK4 Tender Notice covers RSS cases for Officer / Non-Practitioner members only. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: The contract allows for an optional extension of a period up to 3 months, in the event that the PS4m Cap has not been fully utilised and services are still required. The extension is limited to the PS4m Cap. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043753-2026 | | Notice type | UK4 - Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning, Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 9 Jun 2026 | | Future notice date | 20 Mar 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 23 Jul 2026 - 23 Aug 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,000,000 | | Lots value | £4,000,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NHS BUSINESS SERVICES AUTHORITY | | Locality | NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE | | Post town | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Postcode | NE15 8NY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLC North East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLC4 Northumberland, Durham and Tyne & Wear | | ITL 3 | TLC43 Tyneside | | Local authority | Newcastle upon Tyne | | Electoral ward | Lemington | | Westminster constituency | Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66141000 - Pension fund management services ## Release History - 13 May 2026 at 09:16 - Tender - UK4 - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043753-2026 - 17 Mar 2026 at 14:47 - PlanningUpdate - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024151-2026 - 17 Mar 2026 at 12:59 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024026-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/043753-2026 13th May 2026 - Tender notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024151-2026 17th March 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/024026-2026 17th March 2026 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-1928.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents - https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
