Administration of the Civil Service Pensions Schemes

Descriptions

Cabinet Office is responsible for the management of the Civil Service Pension Scheme (CSPS) and the Royal Mail Statutory Pension Scheme (RMSPS) - the third and sixth largest pension schemes in the UK respectively. The CSPS is currently administered under contract by MyCSP Ltd and the contract is due to expire on 31 December 2021. Additional work has become necessary between early 2021 and mid 2023 In order to allow the contracting authority to meet its obligations in response to the McCloud judgment on the transitional protection elements of the 2015 public sector pension scheme reforms. This cannot be carried out by an alternative provider for economic and technical reasons without causing significant inconvenience or substantial duplication of costs for the contracting authority. Accordingly, the contracting authority has entered into an agreement with MyCSP to extend the contract by two years. The RMSPS is currently administered under a separate contract with Capita, which expires in September 2023.
