Firms have been appointed to either Lot 1 or Lot 2, or both Lots, distinguished by the type of work required under the Framework Agreement. • Lot 1 – Administration, Actuarial, Support & Pensions Consultancy Services • Lot 2 – Actuarial Consultancy Services Lot 1 is primarily for services to the Board where both administration and actuarial services and/or pensions consultancy may be required at the same time. Lot 2 is aimed at firms with specialist actuarial capabilities who have experience in either the pensions or insurance industries (where long-term risk modelling is also considered). The Framework Agreements have an initial term of two years, with the option of two one-year extensions, commencing 2 December 2023. The National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) may also choose to contract for services via a call-off from this Framework. The final value of the framework across the maximum term (four years) may fall within a wide range as it has been set up to be available for future call-offs for in scope requirements that we may not currently be aware of. ## Lots (2) ### Lot 1: Lot 1 - Administration, Actuarial, Support & Pensions Consultancy Services - **Lot id:** `1` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 66519600 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** Lot 1 is primarily for services to the Board where both administration and actuarial services and/or pensions consultancy may be required at the same time. - **Renewal published:** yes ### Lot 2: Lot 2 - Actuarial Consultancy Services - **Lot id:** `2` - **Status:** complete - **CPV codes:** 66519600 - **Delivery regions:** UK - **Description:** Lot 2 is aimed at firms with specialist actuarial capabilities who have experience in either the pensions or insurance industries (where long-term risk modelling is also considered). - **Renewal published:** yes ## Awards & Winning Suppliers (14) - **Award:** Professional Services Framework (Admin, Actuarial, and Consultancy) 2023 (active) - Award id: `037609-2023-ecm_3245-1` - Supplier(s): **First Actuarial LLP** - Supplier identifiers: `GB-FTS-101256` - Value: £50,000,000 † (exc.
