Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited bought financial and tax due diligence services for Project Oracle. The work falls within business and management consultancy and was intended to support the project through specialist review of its financial position, tax matters and related risks. It was a services requirement delivered in Leeds, where the buyer is based. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier was a large professional services firm. The requirement would suit accountancy practices, transaction advisory firms, tax advisers and management consultancies that can provide integrated financial and tax due diligence for a public-sector or government-backed investment organisation. The buyer’s focus was a defined project assignment rather than a general consultancy service.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on 9 July 2026. The awarded value was £104,078, with a contract period from 9 July 2026 to 8 October 2026. The stated procurement value was also £104,078. It was a selective procedure using a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The tender submission deadline was 18 May 2026 at 12:00 noon. The award was active and the contract period covered approximately three months. Evaluation was for financial and tax due diligence services for Project Oracle, within the business and management consultancy services category. The buyer and supplier were the only named parties in the award information.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award shows demand for a compact, specialist due diligence engagement combining financial and tax expertise. A credible competitor for a future requirement from National Wealth Fund Limited would need to demonstrate robust transaction advisory capability, qualified financial analysis and tax review skills, and the ability to bring both disciplines together for a time-limited project. Experience of assessing financial information, identifying tax exposures and presenting clear findings to an investment or public-sector decision-maker would be relevant. The opportunity was accessible through a framework call-off, so firms seeking comparable work should consider the framework route as well as building a track record in project-based advisory assignments. SMEs were expressly considered suitable.
