The Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF), administered by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, operates its own dedicated IT function, independent from the Council's centralised IT service. The Fund manages a modern digital estate built primarily on Microsoft 365, Azure, and virtualised infrastructure, supporting approximately 240 users. GMPF does not have a dedicated in-house cyber security team. Cyber responsibilities are distributed across general IT staff alongside broader operational duties. While the Fund has invested in Microsoft security technologies and maintains an external cyber incident response (IR) retainer, it does not have the capability to provide continuous 24/7 monitoring, threat investigation or proactive threat hunting. The current incident response retainer expires on 13 October 2026, and therefore the new contract should be in place by 1 September 2026, with the IR service commencing from 14 October 2026.
