    Brief

    Durham County Council Pension Fund is conducting a Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) exercise to explore modern, secure, and integrated Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) administration solutions. This is an open market consultation to understand current supplier capabilities and how technology can enhance pension services delivery. The Fund seeks solutions that improve member and employer engagement, increase automation, enhance data quality, and ensure compliance with legislative and regulatory requirements. Suppliers are invited to share information about their solutions, implementation approaches, innovation, product roadmaps, and LGPS sector experience. This exercise will inform the Fund's future procurement strategy and shape detailed requirements for any subsequent competitive procurement. Participation is free and open to all interested providers. Suppliers can access the written response questions by registering on the Open Portal at www.open-uk.org. The deadline for responses is Friday 2nd October 2026 at 12 noon.
