Data and Analytics Platform

Descriptions

LGPS Central Limited manages investments across a range of asset classes to deliver enhanced returns at scale for a pool of local government Partner Funds. The Government's "Fit for the future" proposal is driving volume and capability growth with new Partner Funds joining the pool, existing Partners pooling additional assets and a requirement to deliver evidence-based investment strategy advice emerging in the near term.

We currently have a number of systems in place to facilitate asset management and reporting and as a key component of our Data Strategy require a central platform to consolidate data and enable it to be leveraged more effectively to provide insight and evidence value delivered by the pool.

Our strategy and detailed requirements are currently under development and it is our intent to carry out preliminary engagement with industry partners to establish further details before proceeding to publication of a formal tender notice.

We are keen to hear from suppliers who are able to deliver data platform services, accompanying analytical capabilities and complementary services for operational management of these platforms.

Engagement

This process is intended to allow the Authority to engage with interested suppliers who are able to deliver our requirements as detailed in the questionnaire document. This engagement is proposed to assist the Authority in understanding the market and refining our business requirements by using feedback provided during this process. The process for this early market engagement exercise is as follows: 1. Interested suppliers must register at https://in-tendhost.co.uk/lgpscentral/ and download the early market engagement documentation associated with this requirement. 2. Download, fully complete and submit the Early Market Engagement Questionnaire through In-Tend, by the deadline of 14th November 2025 - 12:00:00 (Noon). 3. The Authority will review questionnaire submissions and reserve the right to invite suppliers to provide a demonstration of their solution and provide further feedback on our business requirements. Dependent on interest, the Authority reserves the right to limit the number of suppliers invited to demonstrate their solution. 4. Following conclusion of engagement meetings, the Authority will refine the business requirements prior to undertaking a procurement for this requirement under the Competitive Flexible Procedure (Procurement Act 2023).
