II.2.4) Description of the procurement
This procurement is being managed by Proxima Group on behalf of the Local Pension Partnership Limited (LPP)
Background.
It is LPP’s intention to upgrade the systems and processes supporting its regulated investments business, LPP I, and to outsource its middle office function in order to benefit from a greater breadth of expertise and the increased value provided by a specialist provider. It is seeking a consultant to act as a partner, bringing the expertise of operating models, outsourcing and project management and delivery. This is being formalised in the following 2 workstreams:
1) The selection and implementation of Portfolio Management Systems (PMS). The delivery portfolio management systems to support public and private market asset classes will be coordinated with the outsourced middle office. It will select, contract, deploy, configure and test the system before migrating LPP’s portfolios onto it as the middle office services are begun. The workstream includes training of users and enhanced support during initial operations.
2) The implementation of an operating model based on an outsourced middle office. The middle office workstream will deliver an enhanced investment operations process, preparing the model for additional clients, instrument and investment types and client reporting needs. The workstream will define the detailed processes between LPP and its custodians and agreed contracts, commercials and associated service level agreements before integrating the outsourced middle office services into LPP’s new Portfolio Management System.
