The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) is seeking to undertake a procurement exercise for: • an annuity comparison tool; • an investment pathways comparison tool; • a suite of financial planning calculations to power our pension guidance • potential 4th lot for interface MaPS anticipate this being a single tender with the above requirements in three or four separate Lots. As part of its pensions guidance transformation strategy, the Money and Pension Service (MaPS) is looking to improve its digital pensions guidance offering by providing retirement planning journeys and tools that meet the needs of different groups of people. The annuity and investment pathways comparison tools along with the suite of financial planning calculations will help consumers to model their options at retirement and answer what do I need and what should I do now. They are therefore a key enabler in the development and provision of MaPS pension guidance. MaPS has a contract in place until October 2023 for both the Annuity and Investment Comparison Tools. It currently powers the other pension guidance tools it provides through financial planning calculation models developed and maintained internally. Going forwards our intention is for all tools to be developed and built on our consumer facing website, MoneyHelper. Our digital tools strategy is to develop and maintain the front-end user interfaces and functionality but are looking for suppliers to provide the necessary back-end calculation capability via API's to support the provision of those tools and journeys. We are engaging the market prior to the tender process, to further outline the tools strategy, the outcomes MaPS are looking to achieve and to obtain any feedback on the Specifications. Virtual Event: A virtual Early Market Engagement event will be held for this project on 25th October at 12pm, via Microsoft Teams. The purpose of this event is to alert the market to the potential procurement opportunity and to gain a better understanding of the capacity and appetite of the market to deliver against the proposed planned activities. Please register interest to obtain joining instructions by emailing commercial@maps.org.uk, with '22-114C MaPS Pension Guidance Comparison Tools' as the subject.

The Money and Pensions Service (MaPS) has a statutory duty to develop & co-ordinate a national strategy to improve the provision of financial education to children and young people (CYP). Published in January 2020, the UK Strategy for Financial Wellbeing set a goal of 2 million more CYP to receive a meaningful financial education by 2030. The Delivery Plans for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland set out the action needed to deliver that goal, including testing how to expand provision of teacher training, supporting practitioners working with CYP in vulnerable circumstances to embed financial wellbeing into the services they provide, and supporting more parents and carers to talk to and teach their children about money. Through this funding stream, we will enable organisations to test ways to improve practitioners' knowledge, confidence and skills when delivering financial education provision in educational settings, and in other services and settings supporting children and young people in vulnerable circumstances. There is also scope within this funding stream to scale up existing delivery of financial education to children and young people in vulnerable circumstances. Proposals will be considered for projects that: • Develop and test approaches to scaling and embedding training & support for practitioners in educational settings in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland - with a particular interest in reaching schools in areas of greater economic disadvantage; • Develop and test approaches to improving financial education for children & young people in vulnerable circumstances (VCYP), e.g. social workers, support workers, personal advisers and service leaders. MaPS are interested in seeking insight from & partnering with those already working to deliver outcomes in this space, but are also interested in supporting practitioners working with VCYP who wish to embed financial wellbeing into the services they provide who could contribute to this exercise. The evidence generated through this programme will be used by MaPS to inform and shape policy, strategy and funding led by MaPS and others who are shaping (or who have the potential to shape) financial education provision. The attached document and questionnaire includes further details, if you feel that your organisation is able to contribute to this exercise, please complete the questionnaire and return, via email to sophie.okusanya@maps.org.uk by 10am on Tuesday 30th August 2022.

Pension guidance tools data provision As part of its pensions guidance transformation strategy, the Money and Pension Service (MaPS) is looking to improve its digital pensions guidance offering by providing retirement planning journeys and tools that meet the needs of different groups of people. This will help consumers answer what do I need, what should I do now and to model their options. Given the complexity of people's pension holdings there is a need to provide a broad range of tools, that can be tailored to individuals' personal circumstances and their life situation. These tools need to be simple to use, engaging, and able to support both simple and complex decision making and retirement planning. This will range from providing rational tools that could help a consumer with one thing to more complex, customisable, interactive tools that allows for 'what-if' scenario planning. These will be web-based multi-channel tools and calculators covering all life-stages including pre, at, and in retirement. They will be accessible across a range of devices and designed to increase engagement and educate consumers. We also intend to develop tools that can be linked together as well as with the consumers profile so that data provided in one tool or from their profile can be pre-populated across the guidance journeys we provide. These tools will be developed and built on our consumer facing website, MoneyHelper. Our intention is to develop and maintain the front-end user interfaces and functionality but are looking for suppliers to provide the necessary data feeds via API's to support the provision of those tools and journeys. The front-end user interfaces will be built on our infrastructure (AEM) and utilise our API gateway. If suppliers have existing complementary front-end user interfaces that can be used in conjunction with the data feeds they provide, we may explore the potential use of these solutions, on an interim basis thereby providing benefit to consumers faster. This would be subject to MaPS reviewing those front-end user interfaces to ensure they are suitable to meet the aims and needs of our consumers. We intend for the contract for these services to begin towards the end of 2022 and be for an initial period of three to four years.MaPS therefore wishes to ascertain interest from the market prior to any potential tender process for the provision of these services. We ask that any suppliers who would be interested in bidding for this opportunity to please indicate this by replying to the contact email address by XX. We'd also ask you to indicate if you have a potentially suitable front-end user interfaces that could be used in conjunction with the data feeds. Further details are included in the "More Information" section of this notice.
