Private Markets Front, Middle and Back Office Services

Brunel requires a private markets Front Office Investment Toolset for use by its private markets investment team. The primary purpose is to enable comprehensive portfolio monitoring of Brunel private markets portfolios across a range of asset classes including private equity, private debt, infrastructure, secured income and property.

It is expected that the Front Office Investment Toolset will operate seamlessly with the Middle and Back Office Administration Services (see Lot 2).

Brunel requires an experienced, proven, private markets administrator to manage its private markets portfolios, comprising multiple asset classes including private equity, private debt, infrastructure, secured income and property.

The administrator must provide a full range of outsourced middle and back-office services supporting portfolio construction and the deal lifecycle. It is expected that the administrator will operate seamlessly with the Front Office Investment Toolset and Brunel's custodian, State Street, noting that custody is out of scope for this services request.

Lot 3 is a combined bid for Lots 1 and 2 covering the Front Office Investment Toolset and the Middle and Back Office Administration Services . The bid could be made by either a single supplier or by a consortium. In the event of a consortium bid, it is intended that one supplier will act as the principal consortium lead, being responsible for overall delivery of the services but on the basis that certain aspects of the services (i.e., either Lot 1 or Lot 2) outsourced to strategic partners.
