Aviva Vs Standard Life

I have two small private pensions that are currently on ice because I now work for local gov and joined their works pension. I'm 60 so can move them. It looks like I can't add my private pensions to my public one so at least I can put my two private pensions together. One is with standard Life and last year made a small loss, other is with Aviva and not sure how it's doing. Should I put my standard Life pension into my Aviva one or vice versa?
If I ruled the world.......

    Best option is probably neither. However, as you have given us no details of either pension,we cannot comment on which is best of those two.

    How long have you been working for current employer?

    If less than 12 months a transfer in to the LGPS might be worth looking at.
