## Summary

National Wealth Fund Limited procured advisory services for the defence sector. The requirement falls within business and management consultancy services and is categorised as a service rather than goods or works. Delivery is associated with Leeds, England, where the buyer is based. The work is intended for organisations providing consultancy and advisory support relevant to defence-sector activities. This is a focused professional-services requirement rather than a supply, construction or operational delivery contract. Businesses specialising in management consultancy, strategic advice or related advisory services for defence-sector clients would find the subject matter most relevant, particularly those able to work with a public-sector financial organisation based in Leeds.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 25 August 2026. National Wealth Fund Limited awarded the contract to McKinsey & Company, Inc. United Kingdom on 26 August 2026. The awarded value is £173,000. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 25 February 2027. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available procurement information identifies the service scope and framework call-off route; the award record names one active supplier and one awarded contract.

This award confirms that National Wealth Fund Limited buys specialist business and management consultancy services for defence-sector advisory work through a framework call-off route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need a demonstrable ability to provide advisory services in the defence sector, with consultancy methods and capacity suited to a professional assignment for this buyer. Framework access or an established route into the relevant framework would be commercially important, since this procurement was made through a call-off rather than an open standalone tender. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller consultancies with relevant defence-sector experience, suitably qualified advisers and enough delivery capacity may be well placed to compete when comparable work returns.
