Union Pension Services Limited (UPS) offer consultancy and information services for Trade Unions on state and occupational pension schemes. It was established in 1989 by its director, Bryn Davies, and is based in Brixton, London. UPS produce a survey of pension benefits offered by UK pension schemes titled Pension Scheme Profiles. This publication currently has four editions, produced in 1993, 1996, 2000 and 2003. UPS also offer advisory services to trade unions and produce other publications on pension matters.

UPS was initially a division of Pensions and Investment Research Consultants Limited (PIRC). Bryn Davies was a director of PIRC from 1984.

Deposited in May 2012.

The collection mainly comprises of explanatory booklets for pension scheme members and associated publications such as annual reports which were used by UPS to produce Pension Scheme Profiles.

These are grouped by company (or in a few instances by pension scheme) and arranged alphabetically, following the arrangement of Pension Scheme Profiles. A file's scope and content lists which booklets and other publications are held for a company. The explanatory booklets often included update addendums, application forms or other inserts: these have only been noted if they are unusual. Occasionally a scheme's entry in Pension Scheme Profiles is held.

The collection also includes other PIRC and UPS publications, and publications Bryn Davies acted as a consultant on.
