Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by NPL Management Limited, a public undertaking based in Teddington, United Kingdom, culminated in a contract awarded on 9th June 2026. The initiative, titled "Baseline Study", involved a tender process classified under the services category, focusing on research and development services and related consultancy. The procurement reached completion with an awarded contract valued at £36,000 gross, concluding by the end of December 2026. This process followed a below-threshold method, unspecified as to its exact competitive nature, and was guided by the legal requirements of the UK Public Contracts Regulations 2023/54.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in research, development, and consultancy services, especially those experienced in providing related business services, such as law and marketing. The awarded contract to Briscoe Advisory Ltd, an SME, underscores the accessibility of these opportunities to smaller enterprises adept in offering strategic advisory services.
