WHAT HAPPENS IF MY LOCAL GOVERNMENT JOB IS TRANSFERRED TO A PRIVATE CONTRACTOR
If your job is transferred to a private contractor, the contractor will normally be required to provide a pension scheme which is broadly equivalent to the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). This does not mean that the new scheme must mirror the benefits of the LGPS, but the value of the package offered under the new scheme must be broadly equivalent to benefits under the LGPS.
Alternatively, the contractor may be able to seek admission body status in the LGPS. This would enable you to remain in the LGPS so long as you were working in connection with the delivery of the contracted out service.
