We are looking to test market interest in providing pensions administration for two small, closed pension schemes. Please email me at robin.woodhouse@defra.gov.uk for more details of the schemes. The estimated contract value given above is for the 8 years of contract and does not include the actual pension payments which also need to be made. At this point we are investigating possible routes to market and seek to confirm whether suppliers would be capable, interested, and able to meet the proposed timescales.
