## Summary

The Department for Education has concluded the procurement process with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to deliver independent transition assurance and contingency planning support for the Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS) Transition Programme. This direct award was made under the Management Consultancy Framework 4, leveraging PwC's existing involvement and expertise in the programme's technical and operational aspects. The procurement stage is in the 'award' phase with the contract beginning on 29th April 2026 and running until 31st October 2026, with potential extension until 31st January 2027. The industry category is financial consultancy services, focusing on ensuring a safe transition of pension administration services. The procurement spans several regions across the United Kingdom, and critical negotiations are scheduled to conclude before 28th April 2026.

This procurement offers significant opportunities for large-scale consultancy firms specializing in financial services, particularly those with experience in public sector transitions. Although the award has been directly made to PwC due to its prior involvement, businesses positioned in similar sectors can look to provide competitive expertise or discover potential sub-contracting opportunities within such frameworks. Organisations adept in handling complex administrative transitions or those capable of strategic consultancy under stringent timelines and operational risk management will find continued growth prospects in this domain. By aligning themselves with government frameworks and developing targeted capabilities, SMEs can also explore potential collaborations in forthcoming opportunities akin to the Teachers' Pension Scheme project.

## Notice

The contract is for the provision of independent transition assurance and contingency planning support for the Department for Education's Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) Transition Programme. The services will support the safe and effective transition of pension administration services to the new administrator.

### Procurement Information

Please note this contract is being awarded under the Managment Consultancy Framework 4. PwC was selected due to its previous involvement in the TPS Transition Programme and its detailed knowledge of the programme's technical, operational and financial risks. Continuity of assurance is critical at this stage of the transition, and appointing PwC avoids the time and delivery risks associated with onboarding a new supplier during a critical period.
