Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited procured legal advisory and representation services for work connected with deals and other relevant matters. The requirement covers a legal services contract rather than a specific construction, technology or goods supply. Delivery is for the buyer’s work in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is National Wealth Fund Limited, based in Leeds. The service is categorised as legal advisory and representation, covering advice and representation needed to support transactions and related activities. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, although the selected supplier was a large organisation. The appointed legal provider is Pinsent Masons LLP, based in London.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 December 2025 to Pinsent Masons LLP. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The award value is up to £950,000, with zero committed spend, over the whole contract term. The contract period runs from 4 December 2025 to 3 December 2027. The original tender described a one-year period ending 3 December 2026, with an optional two-year extension in two one-year increments; the awarded contract therefore reflects the extended end date. The award is active, and the procurement outcome records Pinsent Masons LLP as the selected supplier.

This award shows that National Wealth Fund Limited buys external legal support for deals and associated matters through a framework call-off route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable capability in transactional legal work, including advising on deals and handling related legal matters for a public-sector investment organisation. The requirement is potentially accessible to SMEs, so a smaller specialist practice could be relevant if it can provide suitable legal expertise, reliable capacity and coverage for the buyer’s United Kingdom activities. The incumbent is a large law firm, indicating that the buyer has accepted a provider able to support substantial or complex requirements at this scale.
