## Summary

LGPS Central Limited is procuring stewardship services for the Authority and its Partner Funds, supporting their responsibilities as active owners of investments. The appointed provider will engage with investee companies on financially material environmental, social and governance issues, support the exercise of voting rights, research and analyse stewardship risks and opportunities, and report on engagement activity and outcomes. This is a specialist pension and investment stewardship service delivered for the Authority in the United Kingdom. The requirement covers pension services, including engagement research, voting support, market-level advocacy, stewardship reporting, data and platform services, and the operational arrangements needed to deliver these activities reliably.

The process reached tender: suppliers were invited to submit a single response through a competitive flexible procedure with four assessment stages, including an interim assessment. There is one lot, with a gross estimated value of £1,260,000. Enquiries closed on 2 October 2026 at 12:00 and tender responses were due by 13 October 2026 at 12:00. The intended award period ended on 12 November 2026 at 23:59. The contract runs from 12 November 2026 to 11 November 2028, with three discretionary 12-month extensions available and a maximum end date of 11 November 2031. Evaluation is based on quality criteria weighted at 75% and net price at 25%; platform demonstration carries 10% and applies at final assessment.

This opportunity suits established stewardship, responsible investment or pension-services providers able to engage effectively with investee companies and assess financially material environmental, social and governance issues. Strong bidders will demonstrate voting-policy research and execution, advocacy at market level, reliable stewardship reporting, high-quality data and a credible technology platform. The evaluation also values operational resilience, relationship management, service delivery and practical implementation planning, so suppliers need dependable processes, suitable systems and sufficient specialist capacity for a long-term institutional client. Providers should be able to support evolving regulatory and reporting requirements, integrate additional data sources, configure advanced reporting and develop enhanced disclosures as needs change. English-language electronic tendering is required.
