What is being bought

Published requirement description

WRAP is seeking to appoint an experienced, independent pensions adviser to provide strategic, governance and member engagement support for its Group Personal Pension arrangement.

The appointed adviser will work collaboratively with WRAP's Pensions Forum, HR and Finance teams to ensure the scheme remains well governed, compliant with legislative and regulatory requirements, represents good value for members, and continues to support employee financial wellbeing.

The successful supplier should demonstrate a proactive approach, bringing market insight, innovation and best practice rather than solely responding to requests.

Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
