Pension Protection Fund awarded a contract to Mercer Limited for backup operational due diligence (ODD) services.

The contract addresses the need for a contingency ODD service provider to support the internal ODD team, particularly when internal resources are unavailable or for coverage in long-haul jurisdictions where the PPF has single manager exposure.

Mercer Limited will be commissioned on an ad-hoc basis to conduct in-person, deep-dive ODD assessments on third-party investment managers selected by the PPF, producing comprehensive Operational Risk Assessment reports within a 6-8 week timeframe.

The contract value is £200,000.
