Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Due Diligence Reports Framework" was conducted by the Natural History Museum, a non-departmental public body based in London, sponsored by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. Classified under the industry category of Financial Consultancy Services, this process has now reached the awarding stage, following an open procedure method. The contract, valued at £240,000, was signed on 23rd June 2025, and will last for an initial period of two years with options for extension. The framework aims to provide due diligence reports specifically for the area of Inner London – West, covering services sought from multiple providers under a framework agreement.

This tender represents a growth opportunity for businesses specialising in financial consultancy and investigative services. Given that the Natural History Museum has awarded places on this framework to several small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), it underscores the suitability and potential competitive advantage for SMEs in delivering specialized due diligence services. The selection criteria, which focused significantly on quality and social value, provide additional dimensions through which businesses can differentiate themselves. With a well-defined procurement method, this framework offers a structured opportunity for service providers looking to strengthen their credentials and expand their market presence in public sector contracts.
