Summary of the contracting process

The Natural History Museum in London has recently concluded an open procurement process titled "Due Diligence Reports Framework," aimed at selecting providers to deliver financial consultancy services, specifically due diligence reports on third parties. The procurement falls under the industry category of financial consultancy services and involves a contract valued at £240,000. This tender, completed on 23rd June 2025, was awarded using an open procedure. The contract period is set from 1st July 2025 to 30th June 2029, and the location for service delivery is the United Kingdom, primarily in London. The procurement process is currently in the award stage, with CH Business Research, Fulcrum Diligence Ltd, CR Investigations Ltd, Geoghegan Research Limited, Helen Standring, and Ridgeway Information Ltd selected as suppliers.

This procurement presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating in the financial consultancy sector. The emphasis on due diligence services allows these businesses to expand their service portfolios and gain a foothold within public sector contracts. Moreover, given the location and the scale of the project, it is particularly suited for SMEs situated in or near London, offering them an excellent opportunity to build partnerships with a prestigious institution like the Natural History Museum and potentially leverage this relationship for future contracts.
