| 1 | Insurance and pension services, Pension fund administration services | Not published |
Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 66. The category anchor is Insurance and pension services (66500000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.
| Comparison set | Procedures | Reported bids per procedure | Named award suppliers | Price evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Market: CPV division 66 | 2,267 | 3 median · 16.1 average (958 of 2,267 with a bid count) | 2.5 average (1,063 of 2,267 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Same buyer | 1 | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Delivery region: UK | 723 | 5 median · 22.8 average (259 of 723 with a bid count) | 3.3 average (291 of 723 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
| Similar published value (0.5×–2×) | 164 | 6 median · 5.3 average (3 of 164 with a bid count) | 1.3 average (3 of 164 with named award suppliers) | Not published |
“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.
Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.

| 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. | engagement | 5 Sept 2025 | scheduled |
