Summary of the contracting process

The National Wealth Fund Limited commissioned commercial and technical due diligence for a transaction under Project Orpheus. This is a business and management consultancy service, covering assessment of both the commercial and technical aspects of the transaction. The work was intended for delivery in the United Kingdom. The requirement was treated as a single lot and was managed by the National Wealth Fund, whose registered address is in Leeds. The buyer is a national public-sector economic affairs organisation. The service is relevant to consultancies that advise on transactions and can combine commercial analysis with technical assessment, rather than to suppliers providing physical goods, construction or routine operational services.

The procurement has completed and an award was made to Cambridge Consultants Ltd. The contract was signed on 2 June 2025 for £224,849. Five bids were recorded. The opportunity was competed through a Dynamic Purchasing System using a limited award procedure without prior publication of a separate call for competition. Bids were evaluated on quality and price, weighted at 70% and 30% respectively. The award is recorded as active, while the related lot is marked cancelled. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The available outcome identifies Cambridge Consultants Ltd as the selected supplier; no separate contract delivery period or award date is recorded.

This procurement indicates demand from the National Wealth Fund for specialist transaction due diligence combining commercial and technical capability. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate a strong track record of advising on transactions, with teams able to assess commercial viability and technical matters in an integrated way. The evaluation weighting shows that quality was more important than price, so relevant expertise, robust methodologies, clear outputs and evidence of successful comparable assignments would be central to a competitive proposition. The previous award also shows that the requirement attracted several bidders and was sourced through a Dynamic Purchasing System, making familiarity with that route commercially useful.
