Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited procured legal advisory and representation services for work relating to deals and other relevant matters. The requirement covers legal support for transactions and associated business activity under a new contract. Services are delivered in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is based in Leeds. This is a professional legal services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction opportunity. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation is not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The scope is described under CPV 79110000, covering legal advisory and representation services. The selected provider is Addleshaw Goddard LLP, a large legal practice, indicating that the requirement can involve substantial commercial legal capability and support for the buyer’s deal-related work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Addleshaw Goddard LLP was awarded the contract on 7 September 2026 for £950,000 in GBP. This is a zero-spend commitment contract with a maximum potential value of £950,000 over the whole term, so the stated value is not a guaranteed level of expenditure. The initial contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 8 September 2027. The arrangement includes optional extensions of two years, exercised in one-year increments, taking the potential end date to 8 September 2029. The award was active when recorded. The requirement was evaluated through the framework call-off route rather than an open tender, and the procurement reached completion with one selected supplier.

This award shows that National Wealth Fund Limited uses external legal advisers for deals and related matters, with a potentially substantial requirement over the life of the arrangement. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need credible capability in commercial transaction support, legal advice and representation, and the capacity to respond to matters arising from a financial or investment-focused public body. Experience handling complex deals and providing dependable advice across relevant legal issues would strengthen a competing proposition. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that a smaller specialist practice could be well placed where it can demonstrate the required expertise, service capacity and resilience. Experience of framework call-offs would also be commercially relevant, since this was the route used to appoint the incumbent firm.
