## Summary

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Durham commissioned specialist pension services for Durham Constabulary. The requirement covers outstanding pension-sharing cases, with the supplier’s projects team completing the remaining pension-sharing calculations and implementing the resulting arrangements. This is a focused professional-services requirement rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. The work is associated with Durham Constabulary and delivery is in the North East of England. The procurement concerns pension services, including the technical assessment of individual cases and the practical implementation of agreed pension-sharing outcomes. It was structured as a single service requirement, covering the full outstanding caseload rather than separate service packages for different locations or activities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded under a framework using a selective, below-threshold route; it was a non-competitive framework award. The contract was awarded to XPS Pensions Group PLC on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. Its stated value is £24,021 excluding VAT, or £28,825.20 including VAT. The contract runs from 14 August 2026 to 13 August 2028, with one optional 12-month extension allowing a maximum end date of 13 August 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. The evaluation basis was the framework award route rather than a new competitive tender, and the procurement comprised one completed lot.

This opportunity demonstrates a defined requirement for a specialist pensions provider able to manage pension-sharing work from calculation through to implementation. A credible competitor for similar work would need a capable projects team, strong technical knowledge of pension-sharing rules and calculations, and the operational capacity to progress outstanding individual cases accurately and consistently. Experience of implementing pension-sharing outcomes, handling case records and coordinating with a public-sector organisation would be directly relevant. The buyer’s use of a framework and a focused, non-competitive award indicates that suppliers seeking comparable work should consider framework access and demonstrate a dependable service model for completing an existing caseload, rather than offering only general pensions advice.
