## Summary

The University of Dundee is seeking actuarial services from an independent, professionally qualified actuarial adviser. The adviser will support the University in its role as sponsoring employer of the University of Dundee Superannuation Scheme through the forthcoming pension valuation process. The requirement is a professional financial consultancy service, covering actuarial advice and related support for the valuation. The work is for the University and is connected with its activities in Dundee, Scotland. This suits firms whose core business is pension actuarial advice, particularly those able to advise sponsoring employers during scheme valuations and provide independent professional input. The procurement is for services rather than goods, construction or general administrative support.

The procurement has reached tender: the University invited offers through an open procedure. Responses were to be submitted electronically, with an electronic catalogue required and alternative bids not allowed. The tender deadline was 23 September 2026 at 12:00 noon. Bids were to remain valid for 90 days, with evaluation and bid opening scheduled for 23 September 2026 at 12:30. The initial contract period is 360 days, with an optional one-off 12-month renewal. Award is based on price weighted at 30% and quality at 70%: approach and methodology 15%, experience and track record 25%, personnel capability and capacity 25%, and presentation 5%. Bids must be submitted in English.

This opportunity is suited to an independent actuarial consultancy or professional practice with suitably qualified actuaries experienced in advising pension scheme sponsoring employers. Relevant firms should be able to lead or support a forthcoming pension valuation and demonstrate a credible experience and track record in comparable actuarial assignments. The buyer will assess the capability and capacity of the personnel proposed, so suppliers should have an appropriately resourced team and be ready to provide the names and professional qualifications of staff assigned to the work. A clear, practical methodology and the ability to present the proposed approach are important. Price matters, but technical quality carries greater overall weight, making this more suitable for providers able to evidence both professional expertise and dependable delivery capacity.
