Tender: National Multi-Provider Framework for Specialist LGPS Pension Legal Services

About

Norfolk County Council is seeking suppliers for a multi-provider framework agreement to deliver specialist pension legal services primarily in support of the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). The framework will be let by Norfolk County Council and may be used by the council, its agents, successor bodies, organisations it outsources LGPS functions to, and public bodies it enters pooling arrangements with. The council is working with a range of contracting authorities who intend to use the framework, including City of Edinburgh Council (Lothian Pension Fund), City of Wolverhampton Council (West Midlands Pension Fund), LGPS Central Ltd, Local Pensions Partnership Investments Ltd (LPPI), NILGOSC, and Staffordshire County Council, and the framework may also be used by any LGPS administering authorities or scheme managers (including Firefighters’ and Police schemes), Border to Coast Pensions Partnership Limited, Northern LGPS Limited, Wales Pension Partnership Investment Management Limited, the Pension Protection Fund, the Local Government Association, asset pool companies (as defined in the Pension Schemes Act 2026) and other public-sector pension bodies or collective fund arrangements. The framework will be split into lots and estimated values are across all lots.
