The Department of Finance’s Civil Service Pensions (CSP) has a requirement for the provision of a replacement solution for Northern Ireland Civil Service (NICS) Pension Schemes member administration, pensioner payroll, accounting, financial reporting, on-line web services, electronic document management and workflow case management.

It is anticipated that the Contract will be for a maximum contract period of 11½ years (which includes a development and implementation period of up to 18 months).

All optional extensions will be subject to review and satisfactory performance assessment conducted by CSP.
