The Systems Development team manages the pension database and member self-service area for Peninsula Pensions.
They update systems, member records and run reports as required by employers, pension fund accountants and actuaries.
Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) annual returns 2019/20
The LGPS annual return exercise is currently ongoing. All employers should now have received an email which included guidance and the template.
Completed spreadsheets should be sent to pensionsannualreturns-mailbox@devon.gov.uk.
Interfaces
Interfacing is a catch-all term for the routine exchange of common data in a pre-determined format, namely Microsoft Excel in our case.
There is a benefit for both employers and Peninsula Pensions as it provides a quick and efficient method of creating/maintaining member records.
For more information on interfaces, please see our employer interfacing guide. If you are interested in starting to use the interfaces, please email richard.tuck@devon.gov.uk.

Pensions interfaces mailbox
Please submit interfaces, spreadsheets of opt outs and breaks in service or related queries to pensionsinterfaces-mailbox@devon.gov.uk. Please also use this mailbox for submission of member CARE data.
Data quality exercise
The Systems Development Team are undertaking a data quality exercise for all LGPS Pension Fund employers.
It’s in accordance with the Pension Regulator specification and involves a series of checks to validate the personal and financial data held on our records for all active members of the LGPS.
The process is ongoing and each employer will be contacted in turn but if you want to request your data sooner rather than later, please email richard.tuck@devon.gov.uk.
Please see our employer data quality guide for more information.
