## Summary

The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) is currently in the tender stage of a procurement process seeking to appoint a provider for its "BBC Group Pension Plan" contract. This initiative, classified under services, particularly group pension services and pension fund management services, is slated to operate primarily within the United Kingdom. The procurement is managed through a competitive flexible procedure aiming to secure a high-quality Defined Contribution (DC) pension arrangement, with express interest needed by 24th August 2026. Interested participants must register through the BBC's Jaggaer procurement portal and complete a Non-Disclosure Agreement before accessing the full tender documentation. The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2028 and could extend until 2035 if renewal options are exercised.

This contract provides significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in robust workplace pension arrangements, particularly those experienced with large and complex employer environments and able to offer a blend of Group Personal Pension and Master Trust frameworks. Businesses that can deliver on investment propositions, member engagement, digital tools, and robust data integration stand to benefit significantly. The contract, valued at £8.5 million, offers a platform for long-term collaboration with a reputable public sector organisation such as the BBC, making it an attractive opportunity for experienced pension providers looking to expand their market presence.

## Notice

The BBC is seeking to appoint a provider to operate its Defined Contribution DC pension arrangement "LifePlan", currently delivered via a Group Personal Pension GPP structure and a Master Trust for non-UK based employees e.g. Channel Islands. The BBC is acting on its own behalf as the Public Service and on behalf of BBC Studioworks Limited, BBC Global News Limited, BBC Studios Distribution Limited, BBC Studios Productions Limited and BBC Children in Need and its other BBC subsidiaries from time to time as notified by BBC pursuant to the Contract. Any reference in this notice or in the procurement documentation to the BBC shall be deemed to include a reference to these parties. https://bbc.ukp.app.jaggaer.com/web/login.html To gain access to the documentation each Tendering party must complete the Non Disclosure Agreement "NDA" and submit to The BBC for approval, before the Tenderer can obtain full access to the Procurement Documents. LifePlan is currently structured as a Group Personal Pension Plan "GPP" and is predominantly available to BBC staff who joined after 30 November 2010. LifePlan is also available to eligible staff who joined before 1 December 2010, although ordinarily employees who joined before this date would be members of the BBC Pension Scheme, a defined benefit arrangement. The BBC is seeking participation from suitably experienced pension providers and organisations capable of delivering a high-quality, resilient and future-focused workplace DC pension arrangement for a large and complex employer environment. The appointed pension plan provider will be expected to operate and support LifePlan via either a Master Trust or a combination of a GPP and a Master Trust, including selecting and managing the range of funds available within the arrangement and providing digital functionality, including a portal through which eligible BBC employees can access, choose and manage their pension savings. The requirement is expected to include, where relevant: - Group Personal Pension and Master Trust provision - investment proposition, fund range and governance - member communications, engagement and digital tools - implementation and transition support - data and payroll integration - employer reporting and management information - governance support and related pension services. The BBC is looking for a provider with the capability, scale, resilience and long-term commitment to support a competitive workplace pension arrangement that delivers value for members, supports good member outcomes, and can evolve with market, regulatory and workforce expectations over the life of the contract. The contract values presented are based on a number of assumptions. Full details of the assumptions and methodology used to derive the contract value are set out in the tender documentation. As such, depending on the application of these assumptions in practice, the actual value of the contract may be higher or lower than the value stated. The contract dates provided are indicative only and may be subject to change to accommodate transition, implementation and other operational requirements. This procurement will be conducted using the Competitive Flexible Procedure. Further details of the procedure to be followed and relevant commercial information will be set out in the procurement documentation. Interested suppliers must register via the BBC's Jaggaer procurement portal and submit the required registration information and signed NDA electronically through the portal.
