Standard TUPE and pensions clauses for inclusion as a schedule to a service contract between a public authority and a service provider relating to the transfer of public sector employees who are members of one of the public sector pension schemes. These clauses are loosely based on those in the Local Partnerships Workforce Matters in Local Authority Public Private Partnership Agreements© Public Private Partnerships Programme 2006, see Local Partnerships: Workforce matters in local authority public private partnership agreements, but have been reduced in size in proportion to the more common length of an outsourcing agreement. The drafting note to clause 2.3 provides some additional drafting to deal with redundancy situations.

The clauses do not deal with liability for shortfalls arising on bulk transfers.

For clauses which deal specifically with transfers from local authorities, see Standard clause, Standard local authority TUPE and pensions clauses.
