TCS expands UK partnership with Nest through £840M deal
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has announced an expanded partnership with Nest, the UK’s largest workplace pension scheme, in a significant deal worth £840 million. This collaboration aims to digitally transform Nest’s scheme administration services and enhance member experiences.
TCS, known for its digital-first approach, will leverage its BaNCS platform to revolutionize scheme administration and deliver personalized experiences to Nest’s members. This move builds upon the long-standing partnership between Nest and TCS, which dates back to 2011 when the digital auto-enrolment pension scheme was first launched.
Under the agreement, TCS will assist Nest in transforming its administration services through a future-ready, digitally enabled, omnichannel platform powered by TCS BaNCS. The initial tenure of the contract is set for 10 years, with a total estimated value of £1.5 billion if extended throughout its 18-year duration.
