Tender description

Wiltshire Council - Administering Authority for Wiltshire Pension Fund is seeking to procure a provider for Mortality Screening, tracing and overseas life existence services.\r \r A mortality screening process is a method of comparing a Pension Fund's pensioner and deferred membership data with various death registers in the UK to highlight all death cases of members to ensure that benefits are paid out in a timely manner and that records are kept up to date.\r \r At points in a member's pension life cycle we may lose track of current addresses and use tracing services to locate and re-connect, also used to supply next of kin and death details to ensure benefits are paid out correctly.\r \r Overseas Life Existence checks are completed as international death registers are not open to mortality screening so a method of ensuring benefits are still due to the overseas pensioners is required.\r \r
