Description

The Cabinet Office manages the delivery and administration of the Civil Service Pension Scheme (CSPS) and the Royal Mail Statutory Pension Scheme (RMSPS). We will shortly begin a procurement process, subject to approvals, to put in place new administration solutions for both schemes. We want services that put excellent member service and experience at the heart of everything that we do. For the CSPS, we are looking to transform the service provided to the 1.6 million members and the 300 plus participating employers. For the RMSPS, we want to ensure the members get the excellent service that they rightly expect. Above all we want to ensure that the right people get the right benefits at the right time and at the right cost to the taxpayer. We are looking for administrators for each scheme who can deliver our aim. The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to initiate engagement with the market for the provision and procurement of solutions required to manage the administration of pensions, other payments and the provision of related customer and employer organisation interfaces and services for the Civil Service Pension Scheme (CSPS) and the Royal Mail Statutory Pension Scheme (RMSPS). It is envisaged the procurement will comprise 2 lots as follows. Lot 1 for the CSPS and Lot 2 for the RMSPS. Each Lot will have its own contract.
