The tender, titled "UKIB DPS for Expert Advice Services v.2", falls under the industry category of business and management consultancy and related services (CPV code 79400000). The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period concluding on 23 April 2025. NWF invites interested suppliers to submit applications via their e-procurement system, Atamis. The projected contract commencement date is 1 June 2025, and the DPS is expected to operate until 31 January 2029. This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for consultancy firms and independent advisors with expertise in areas such as green transport, critical minerals, clean energy, digital infrastructure, and more. Successful applicants will be able to provide advice and assurance on various investment projects, which could include red flag reviews, due diligence, and risk assessments. The DPS framework ensures flexibility in contracting periods, accommodating projects with varying timelines and complexity. Businesses specializing in technical, financial, environmental, and construction consultancy services will find this opportunity particularly well-suited to their capabilities. ## Notice The National Wealth Fund ('NWF') is the UK government-owned policy bank, focused on increasing infrastructure investment across the United Kingdom. NWF is partnering with the private sector and local government to finance a green industrial revolution and drive growth across the country. NWF seeks to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System ('DPS') for the provision of expert advice. ### Lot Information Lot 1 It is proposed through this procurement to establish a DPS to provide a tool for the selection and appointment of independent advisors to provide expert advice and assurance. This DPS is intended to replace the existing C0545 Expert Advice Services DPS from the point that the agreement goes live as an equivalent version 2. NWF requires expert advice and assurance services on its investment into companies relating to green transport, critical minerals, clean energy and grid, water, waste, carbon capture and storage, battery storage and gigafactories, and digital infrastructure amongst other sectors. Independent advisors will provide advice and assurance on topics including the background of the sponsor and counterparties, physical and financial suitability of the project, technology, and the market it operates in. The outputs of the Services will predominantly be in the form of written reports and/or presentations. This will likely include the provision of red flag reviews, intended to act as initial screening tools to identify aspects of the asset or project that require detailed due diligence focus in subsequent stages, or present critical risks to the project. The purpose of the DPS is to establish an efficient contracting route, through further competition, for the appointment of suitably qualified Members for projects requiring expert advice and assurance services in one or more Service Categories, and in respect of one or more Industry Sectors. The relevant Service Categories and Industry Sectors are as set out in the procurement documents. The Industry Sectors which NWF is working in may change over time, and NWF therefore reserves the right to add additional Industry Sectors to the DPS during the term of the DPS. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/006418-2025 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Feb 2025 | | Submission deadline | 23 Apr 2025 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 May 2025 - 31 Jan 2029 | | Recurrence | 3 years from commencement of DPS | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £4,500,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | NATIONAL WEALTH FUND LIMITED | | Locality | LEEDS | | Post town | Leeds | | Postcode | LS1 4HR | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE4 West Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE42 Leeds | | Local authority | Leeds | | Electoral ward | Hunslet & Riverside | | Westminster constituency | Leeds South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services - 71 - Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 90 - Sewage, refuse, cleaning and environmental services ### Codes - 66171000 - Financial consultancy services - 66519310 - Insurance consultancy services - 71311000 - Civil engineering consultancy services - 71311200 - Transport systems consultancy services - 71318000 - Advisory and consultative engineering services - 71530000 - Construction consultancy services - 71621000 - Technical analysis or consultancy services - 72221000 - Business analysis consultancy services - 73210000 - Research consultancy services - 79212000 - Auditing services - 79221000 - Tax consultancy services - 79400000 - Business and management consultancy and related services - 79412000 - Financial management consultancy services - 90713000 - Environmental issues consultancy services - 90713100 - Consulting services for water-supply and waste-water other than for construction - 90714000 - Environmental auditing ## Release History - 20 Feb 2025 at 16:46 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/006418-2025 ## Notice URLs - https://atamis-3929.my.site.com/s/Welcome - https://theroyalcourtsofjustice.com/ - https://www.nationalwealthfund.org.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
