## Summary

National Wealth Fund Limited is procuring legal services for its operations across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers finance and high-risk or innovation matters under Lot 3 of the CCS RM6360 Legal Panel for Government, with the service category classified as legal services (CPV 79100000). The appointed legal firm will provide specialist advice and support to the National Wealth Fund in these areas. The buying organisation is based in Leeds. This is a professional services requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project, and it is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The work is intended to support the buyer’s ongoing government-related activities.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Clifford Chance LLP was awarded the contract on 5 August 2026 for £950,000 GBP. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 4 August 2027, with an option to extend for one year to 4 August 2028. It is a zero-commitment-spend arrangement, so the stated award value is not a guaranteed level of expenditure. The opportunity was for Lot 3, covering finance and high-risk or innovation legal services, and the tender closed at 12:00 on 4 August 2026. Clifford Chance LLP is the selected supplier.

This award indicates demand from National Wealth Fund Limited for specialist legal support combining financial work with high-risk and innovation matters. A credible future competitor would need strong capability across these areas, with lawyers able to advise a public-sector or government-related financial institution on complex transactions, risk and emerging or innovative activity. Experience delivering responsive, commercially focused legal services under a framework call-off would be relevant, as would the capacity to support an organisation operating across the United Kingdom. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, so a smaller specialist practice or consortium with the necessary expertise and delivery capacity could be well placed when comparable work is next considered.

## Notice

Contract for legal services under Lot 3 - Finance and High Risk/Innovation on CCS - RM6360 Legal Panel for Government operation on a zero commitment spend basis. There is an option to extend for one year to 04/08/2028.
