Navigating entry into the LGPS: for local government contractors
Navigating entry into the LGPS: for local government contractors

The LGPS provides a good quality pension for its members.  However participation in the scheme comes with potentially significant financial commitments and administrative responsibilities including:

  • making regular contributions on behalf of employees and making additional contributions if the scheme is in deficit;
  • facilitating communications with scheme members; and
  • Setting up administrative processes for making payments and providing quality to data to the scheme when requested.

This guidance will help you to obtain a full appreciation of these obligations and any associated risks before entering into a local government contract.
