Summary of the contracting process

National Wealth Fund Limited commissioned commercial and technical due diligence for a transaction under its Project Supercharge requirement. The work falls within business and management consultancy services and covers assessment of both the commercial position and the technical aspects of the transaction. Delivery was across the UK. The requirement was arranged as a further competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating a specialist advisory assignment procured from suppliers already participating in that system. The buying organisation is based in Leeds and operates as a national public authority concerned with economic affairs. The selected provider was DNV Services UK Limited, a large consultancy headquartered in London. The requirement is relevant to firms that combine transaction-focused commercial assessment with technical due diligence capability.

The procurement has reached completion and an award was made to DNV Services UK Limited for lot 1. The award is recorded as active, and the contract was signed on 26 January 2026. The lot itself is recorded as cancelled, so the procurement outcome should be read alongside that status. The process used a limited procedure described as an award without prior publication of a call for competition, conducted as a further competition under a Dynamic Purchasing System. Four bids were received, including one from an SME. Quality carried 70% of the evaluation weighting and price 30%. Valid bid values ranged from £1 to £186,220. An extension of up to three months was permitted.

This award provides a clear benchmark for firms targeting National Wealth Fund Limited’s transaction due diligence requirements. A credible competitor would need to assess commercial viability and technical matters together, rather than offer only general management advice or a narrow technical review. The evaluation placed substantially greater weight on quality than price, so evidence of robust methodology, relevant transaction experience and technically credible findings would be important. Suppliers should be able to bring suitably experienced commercial and technical specialists, coordinate their work across a transaction and present clear, decision-ready conclusions to a public-sector investment organisation. The presence of an SME bidder also indicates that specialist smaller firms can participate, particularly where they can demonstrate the required expertise and delivery capacity.
