## Summary

The Pension Protection Fund commissioned specialist actuarial and risk-modelling consultancy to help assess wind-up trigger levels for pension superfunds. The work covers independent validation and challenge of the Fund’s superfund risk models, review of asset-side assumptions and downside scenarios, and assessment of potential effects on pension scheme members and the Fund. This is actuarial consulting work focused on pension risk and superfunds, rather than general pension administration or financial advice. The delivery location is Croydon, in Greater London.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. It was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold procurement, with one lot. QUANTWISDOM LABS LTD was selected. The contract was signed on 8 October 2026 and runs from 9 to 31 October 2026. Its value is £40,500 excluding VAT (£48,600 including VAT). The stated scope sets the assessment task: independently test and challenge the PPF’s modelling, review asset assumptions and downside scenarios, and consider potential impacts on members and the Fund. The available procurement details do not set out a separate scoring framework or eligibility conditions.

For a supplier considering similar work for the Pension Protection Fund, credibility rests on specialist actuarial expertise combined with practical risk-modelling capability. Relevant experience would include independently validating and challenging pension superfund models, scrutinising asset-side assumptions and downside scenarios, and analysing implications for scheme members and the Fund. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, demonstrating that this focused consultancy requirement can be delivered by a specialist firm rather than only a large consultancy. The route used here was a direct award without competition, so the outcome also shows that the buyer has procured this kind of expertise outside a competitive tender. Firms with demonstrable pension-sector knowledge and the ability to deliver independent, evidence-based modelling review are best aligned with the requirement.
