Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Business & Trade commissioned consultancy services to lead the Impact Capital Task and Finish Group established by the Public Investment Roundtable. The work is intended to develop a shared approach and methodology for impact capital across public finance institutes. This is financial consultancy work, classified under CPV 66171000, delivered in the United Kingdom. The requirement is therefore relevant to firms that advise on impact investment, public finance, capital deployment or related policy and methodology development. The named buyer is the Department for Business & Trade, a central government department. The service is structured as a single requirement rather than multiple separately described work packages, and concerns advisory leadership and cross-institutional development rather than routine financial administration or transactional support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Social Investment Business Group was selected as the supplier, and the contract was signed on 1 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 December 2027. Its value is £83,485.71 excluding VAT and £100,182.86 including VAT. The award covers the single requirement for the consultancy service. The outcome shows that the buyer evaluated and appointed a specialist supplier through a non-competitive route, rather than running an open tender. The contract is active, and the recorded procurement status is complete.

For a supplier considering similar work for the Department for Business & Trade, credible capability would include financial consultancy focused on impact capital and public-sector investment. The appointed supplier’s role indicates the importance of leading a task-and-finish group, bringing together public finance institutes, and developing a shared approach and methodology rather than delivering a narrowly defined technical product. Relevant competitors would benefit from demonstrable experience in impact investment policy, public finance institutions, stakeholder coordination and translating differing organisational perspectives into practical frameworks. The requirement also points to the value of senior advisory leadership, clear methodological thinking and the ability to work across government-related finance bodies. Firms with established expertise in social investment or impact capital would be particularly well aligned.
