Address Tracing and Mortality Screening – Member Data Services

Descriptions

The City of Edinburgh Council is acting on behalf of Lothian Pension Fund (“LPF”) in the execution of this Tender, but will not be party to the contract or the management of the contract through its lifetime. LPF is the organisation responsible for administering the Local Government Pension Scheme in the Lothian area. Lothian Pension Fund administers the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) in Edinburgh and the Lothians. LPF require a supplier to conduct Mortality Screening on all Lothian Pension Fund's pensioner and deferred members and to conduct address tracing on all untraced deferred members. This will be a recurring requirement, however through time the requirement may reduce. The requirement is needed to improve the accuracy of member records in accordance with the Pensions Regulator's legislation on record keeping. In additional to improving their records, the service will improve the effectiveness of the communication between Lothian Pension Fund and its members, alerting members timeously with information about elections or choices they are required to make in relation to their benefits that may affect their rights under the scheme.
