## Summary

The National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Corporation bought financial consultancy services for Nest Invest’s next phase of operating-model work. The appointed partner was required to support pre-implementation and procurement activity for a planned Asset Allocation Tool and Data Platform solution. The scope covered finalising investment teams’ asset-allocation and total-portfolio-view requirements, completing tender documentation and obtaining the approvals needed to launch the Asset Allocation Tool tender. It also covered commercial and solution-design work to prepare for implementation of the Northern Trust Data Platform. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom, for NEST Corporation based in London. This is a specialist investment, financial-services transformation and technology-procurement support requirement rather than a general management consultancy commission.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded on 30 June 2026 to ALPHA FINANCIAL MARKETS CONSULTING UK LIMITED. The award is active and covers one completed lot. It was made through a selective procedure under a framework, without a competitive call-off. The awarded value is £485,000, with a gross value of £582,000. The contract period runs from 11 August 2026 to 30 September 2026. Evaluation information identifies financial consultancy, financial transaction processing and clearing-house services as the relevant classification. The selected supplier is Alpha Financial Markets Consulting UK Limited. A contract signature milestone was scheduled for 11 August 2026, with completion of the procurement recorded as the current tender outcome.

This award indicates demand from NEST Corporation for a supplier able to combine investment operating-model expertise with practical delivery of technology-enabled change. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to understand asset allocation, total portfolio views and the needs of investment teams, while also translating those requirements into procurement-ready specifications. Relevant capability includes preparing tender documentation, managing approvals, shaping commercial models and developing solution designs for data platforms and investment tools. Experience supporting pre-implementation activity and coordinating between investment, commercial and technology stakeholders would be important. The requirement also favours firms able to work at the scale and pace of a short, defined delivery phase, with enough financial-services knowledge to connect business requirements, procurement activity and platform implementation planning.

## Notice
