Responsibility for the administration of the Teachers' Pension Scheme will transfer from Capita to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) on 1 November 2026.

We're working to ensure the transition is smooth, secure and causes as little disruption as possible. Supporting our members remains our priority, and we’ll continue to provide the high level of service and support you expect throughout this change.

Importantly, this change doesn’t affect your pension benefits, which remain protected under Scheme regulations and backed by the government.

What this means for you:

• Your pension benefits aren’t changing
• If you’ve already submitted an application form, you don’t need to do anything. Existing applications will continue to be processed as normal
• Our website and phone number will remain the same
• Member support will continue throughout the transition period
• For now, all services remain fully available for members and employers
• In the period immediately before the transfer to TCS, some services will be temporarily unavailable while member data is transferred securely. We'll let you know in advance when they’ll occur and what services will be affected
• We'll keep you informed throughout the transition via our website, and social media channels, so you have the latest information about service availability and key dates.
