## Summary

The procurement process, titled "Procurement of Defined Contribution Administration and Investment Services," is being overseen by Combined Nuclear Pension Plan Trustees Limited, a private utility buyer based at Herdus House, Moor Row in the United Kingdom. The process is currently at the planning stage, with a focus on financial and insurance services, and service delivery anticipated to begin on 1st April 2027. A significant milestone involves service providers expressing interest in the premarket engagement by requesting a questionnaire, which should be completed and returned by 5pm on 24th June 2026. The potential contract involves a multi-employer pension arrangement for approximately 16,000 members with assets totalling about £1.2 billion.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the financial and insurance services sector, particularly those experienced in managing large-scale pension schemes. Service providers capable of offering comprehensive administration and investment services are well-positioned to compete, especially if they have expertise in managing accumulation and decumulation phases of pension plans. The engagement stage provides an initial opportunity for businesses to influence contract terms and service structure, potentially leading to a fruitful partnership with the buying organisation.
