Summary of the contracting process

In a procurement process managed by National Wealth Fund Limited, a contract titled "C1253 - Flexible Benefit - Dental Cover" has been completed. This service contract, classified under benefit services with CPV code 75310000, involves the provision of dental cover as a flexible benefit for NWF staff in the United Kingdom. Situated in Leeds, National Wealth Fund Limited facilitated this direct procurement through single tender action that falls below the threshold. The tender commenced with an award on 31 March 2026, and the contractual obligations will be active from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.

This award to Unum Limited, valued at GBP 25,000, opens opportunities for businesses specialising in employee benefit services to explore similar contracting possibilities. The procurement process was especially suited for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) given the nature of the benefits service. Business growth can be fostered for those adept in the healthcare and insurance industry, with the dental cover package serving as a niche market for expanding offerings to corporate clients. Though Unum Limited is a large-scale supplier, SMEs might consider leveraging their scale and expertise to vie for analogous opportunities in future tenders.
