The procurement is currently at the tender stage and was published on 20 December 2019. The deadline for submissions is set for 24 January 2020, with the contract period anticipated to commence on 3 February 2020, lasting three years with a potential two-year extension. The contract is valued at £241,000 and supports delivery addresses in London, specifically in the postal code E14 4PU. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in proxy voting research and corporate governance services. Companies that can tailor their offerings to meet the unique requirements of NEST, especially during key voting seasons, will be well-positioned to compete effectively. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in environmental and social governance are particularly encouraged to apply, as the selected provider will be integral to advising NEST on substantial corporate issues and shareholder votes. ## Notice This tender opportunity can be access via the following link: https://nesttenders.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml Nest Corporation is seeking to work with an organisation that provides proxy voting research and reporting services (the Provider). The Provider will support Nest's investment team with a number of its stewardship functions primarily around, but not limited to voting. The Provider will have expert knowledge and in-depth analysis on corporate governance as well as social and environmental practices and policies of listed companies globally. It is essential the Provider should be able to tailor its services and be flexible to Nest's needs and requirements - which are likely to be different to other more traditional asset owners as outlined in the description of our voting process below. The Provider will serve as an important source of information and expertise for Nest particularly during voting season. It will advise Nest on key issues and watch points ahead of companies' AGMs. The selected Provider will support and interact with Nest on an intra-day basis primarily during voting season to help monitor and analyse fund manager voting on a subset of companies. The contract will be for three years duration with the potential to extend for a further two years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95f60e52-3a39-442a-bb8f-3be5a9c1e5bf | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Dec 2019 | | Submission deadline | 24 Jan 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 3 Feb 2020 - 2 Feb 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £241,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL EMPLOYMENT SAVINGS TRUST (NEST) | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | East London | | Postcode | E14 4PU | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI4 Inner London - East | | ITL 3 | TLI42 Tower Hamlets | | Local authority | Tower Hamlets | | Electoral ward | Canary Wharf | | Westminster constituency | Poplar and Limehouse | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79000000 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ## Release History - 20 Dec 2019 at 14:18 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95f60e52-3a39-442a-bb8f-3be5a9c1e5bf ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/95f60e52-3a39-442a-bb8f-3be5a9c1e5bf 20th December 2019 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Notice URLs - https://nesttenders.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.shtml ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
