Pension scheme administration support to undertake manual benefit calculations that will allow NHSBSA to produce Remedial Service Statements (RSS) relating to the McCloud Judgement. The contract will cover one period of 13 months. As part of the NHS Pensions McCloud Programme, there is a statutory requirement to provide remedy offers to members found to be discriminated against by the 2015 pension reforms. This activity involves NHS Pensions undertaking a range of complex calculations to determine the sums owed to affected members, allowing them to make their remedy choice. Automation has been applied where possible. However, due to the complexity of the NHS Pension Scheme, a significant portion of these cases will still rely on a level of manual calculation processing. Specialist pensions administration services are required from the supplier market to complete these manual calculations. This will allow NHSBSA to produce the Remedial Service Statements (RSS) and communicate these to scheme members. NHSBSA categorises its scheme members into either 'Officer / Non-Practitioner' or 'Practitioner'. The contract that will result from this UK4 Tender Notice covers RSS cases for Officer / Non-Practitioner members only.

The service is commissioned in recognition of the significant risks associated with hospital discharge into homelessness, and the adverse impact this has on individual health and wellbeing, as well as system pressures across health, housing, and social care. The Council is committed to ensuring that no individual aged 18 and over is discharged from hospital into street homelessness, and that all discharges are safe, timely, and supported by appropriate accommodation and care pathways. The service will operate within the framework of statutory duties under the Care Act 2014, including the duty to promote individual wellbeing, prevent, reduce, and delay the need for care and support, and ensure the integration of services where this contributes to improved outcomes.

It will form a key part of a wider system approach to discharge planning, working in close partnership with Adult Social Care, housing services, health providers, and other relevant stakeholders to facilitate coordinated and person-centred outcomes. A core feature of this integrated approach is the requirement for the provider to work proactively and collaboratively with Transfer of Care Hubs, clinical teams, and wider hospital-based staff to identify individuals who are homeless or at risk of homelessness at the earliest possible stage of admission. The service will accept and respond to referrals from Transfer of Care Hubs, hospital wards, Emergency Departments, and clinical teams, ensuring timely engagement and intervention to support discharge planning processes.
