The Board of the Pension Protection Fund
Publisher note: The contract is awarded for an initial term of five years, with the option to extend for up to an additional five years, resulting in a maximum potential duration of ten years. For the purposes of this notice, the total estimated contract value across Lots 1 and 2 over the full ten-year term is projected to range between £48,766,000 and £74,025,496. This range reflects both fixed and variable fees, which are influenced by the total assets under management by the PPF. As such, the final value may vary. These figures are based on long-term projections and should be considered indicative, given the ten-year forecasting horizon. The PPF is continually developing its business within a changing market, and it is envisaged that there may be future requirements for further services within the scope of the investment management area; for example, fund accounting, support for additional asset classes or investment strategies, and any such requirements that are complementary or required to support the delivery of the system. The additional services that may be included over the life of the contract may result in a price revision of the original contract and/or may significantly increase or decrease the fees paid in relation to these services. Similarly, there are variable volume related fees associated with the services, if there were to be an increase, or decrease in the volume of assets managed by the PPF, or an amendment in the number of users or types of assets managed this would also lead to a price revision of the original contract and/or may result in a change to the fees paid in relation to these services. The Board makes no guarantee as to the nature and extent of such services or the potential change in assets under management over the course of the contract term, this known, unknown value cannot be reliably predicted at this stage.
