Details

The appointment of an independent person under the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) relating to the Staffordshire Pension Fund. This appointment refers to The Local Government Pension Scheme (Amendment) (Governance) Regulations 2026, which introduces amendments to the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 2013. New Regulation 53A(5) provides that, where an administering authority delegates its functions or part of its functions under the 2013 Regulations to a committee, sub committee or an officer, it must appoint an independent person to support the discharge of functions in relation to the Scheme including investment strategy, governance and administration. Staffordshire County Council in its capacity as the administering authority of the Fund delegates relevant functions to the Pensions Committee and is therefore required to make such an appointment.

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this financial & professional services opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
