Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited bought financial and tax due diligence services for Project Supercharge. The requirement was to supply specialist investigation and analysis of financial and tax matters in support of the project. It was classified as business and management consultancy services and falls within the services category. Delivery was required in the United Kingdom. The buyer is based in Leeds. The opportunity is relevant to accountancy practices, tax advisers, financial due diligence specialists and management consultancies able to assess financial information, identify tax issues and produce clear findings for a public-sector investment organisation. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist firms could participate in the purchasing route, alongside larger professional services providers.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Wealth Fund Limited used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 26 January 2026. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was awarded the contract on 26 January 2026 for GBP 99,000. The contract period ran from 27 January 2026 to 23 April 2026. The award is active. The stated procurement title was C1155 – Project Supercharge – Financial and Tax Due Diligence. The published information identifies the requirement as business and management consultancy services, but does not set out a separate award-criteria weighting or scoring basis. The award was made to one supplier for the requirement.

For a future requirement from this buyer, credible suppliers would need demonstrable capability in financial and tax due diligence for significant projects, including reviewing financial information, testing assumptions, identifying liabilities and risks, and presenting findings that support investment or commercial decisions. Relevant experience should combine corporate finance, accounting and tax expertise rather than provide general management advice alone. A strong competitor would be able to assemble suitably qualified specialists, manage confidential financial information and deliver clear, defensible reports to a public investment body. The award to a large professional services firm shows that the buyer accepts substantial multidisciplinary capacity, while the stated SME suitability indicates that a focused accountancy, tax or transaction-advisory practice could also be relevant if it can evidence comparable work and reliable delivery.
