    Short description of the contract or purchase(s)

    The Central Bank of Ireland Superannuation Scheme has a requirement for the

    provision of Actuarial and Pensions Consulting Services. The Central Bank of

    Ireland Scheme is a funded defined benefit scheme which was established on 1

    October 2008 in accordance with Statutory Instrument 99 of 2008. In determining

    the benefits payable and contributions paid by members, the Civil Service

    Superannuation Scheme rules apply. As at 31 December 2014, there were 1,490

    active members of the Scheme and 2,467 members overall, including preserved

    and retired members.

    The Central Bank and the Scheme Trustees are now seeking Actuarial and

    Pensions Consulting services in order to ensure compliance with statutory

    obligations and to ensure adherence to best practice with respect to the

    administration of the Superannuation Fund. The actuarial and pensions consultant

    chosen will therefore be required to provide actuarial services in accordance with

    regulations and statutory/non-statutory guidance.
