Sutton Pension Fund administration software upgrade
Sutton Pension Fund is upgrading its administration software to the Heywood Altair system, expecting significant efficiencies and savings.
The Sutton Pension Fund, which serves Sutton and Kingston councils, is upgrading its administration software to the Heywood Altair system following approval of a new contract by the Strategy and Resources Committee in October 2026. This move is projected to deliver substantial efficiencies and savings, estimated at up to £480,000 annually.
The anticipated savings from the new software are projected to reach approximately £4.8 million over the 10-year contract period. This upgrade replaces the existing Civica UPM system, which has been in use since 2016 and was identified as outdated, requiring staff to use separate processes.
