Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate
Request for Expression of Interest for Verification Service Providers
Background
Pension Transitional Arrangement Directorate (PTAD) was established in August 2013 in compliance with the Pension Reform Act (PRA) of 2004 which stipulates the establishment of an independent pension department for the public service of the federation, to oversee the management of pensions under the Defined Benefit Scheme for pensioners not transiting to the defined contributory scheme.
The Act provided for PTAD to consolidate the following pension departments:
- The Civil Service Pension Department
- The Police Pension Department
- The Customs, Immigration and Prisons Pension Department
- The Pension Departments/Boards of Trustees of all federally funded Parastatals
In line with PRA 2004: the PTAD is mandated to make its pensions budgetary estimates, receive budgetary allocations directly from the Federal Government, and make direct payments to its pensioners as and when due.
PTAD is in the process of planning for the proposed nationwide verification of pensioners under the Defined Benefit Scheme (DBS). The verification exercise is intended to help PTAD develop a credible and reliable database of pensioners. This is with the aim of ensuring that duplicates and fictitious records are identified and eliminated. The verification exercise will also achieve the added benefit of data consolidation across all the inherited pension departments.
For this purpose, PTAD invites eligible consultants to indicate their interest in providing any of the under listed services.
