## Summary

Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Authority procured firefighters’ pension administration and pensioner payroll services. The work concerns managing pension administration and payroll for the Authority’s firefighters’ pension arrangements. The named service area is pensions administration; the procurement does not give further detail on specific tasks or volumes. Delivery is stated across England, covering the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is a fire and rescue authority based in Salisbury. This is a pensions services requirement, relevant to organisations that administer public-sector pension schemes and operate pensioner payroll services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to West Yorkshire Pension Fund. The Authority used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The awarded value is £81,858 excluding VAT, or £98,229.60 including VAT. The contract period runs from 10 December 2026 to 9 December 2027. The award is recorded as pending, and a future contract signature was scheduled for 13 November 2026. The procurement was divided into one lot, covering the pension administration and pensioner payroll requirement. No evaluation criteria or competitive assessment basis are stated; the award was made without a competition.

This award shows demand for specialist administration of firefighters’ pension arrangements alongside pensioner payroll, with service delivery spanning England. A credible provider for a future requirement would need the operational capacity to manage pension administration and payroll across a geographically broad service area, together with relevant expertise in public-sector pension schemes. The selected provider was a large pension fund, indicating that an established organisation with the scale to deliver these services may be well placed. The route used was a direct award without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate how suppliers would be assessed in a future competitive process. Providers considering this buyer’s requirement should focus on demonstrable capability in pension administration and reliable pensioner payroll delivery at this broad scope.
