## Summary

National Wealth Fund Limited commissioned design and proofing support for its ARA production. The requirement covers publication-related services, including graphic design and the preparation or checking of materials for publication. The buying organisation is National Wealth Fund Limited, a central government public authority based in Leeds, and the work is associated with its Leeds operation. The procurement is categorised as services. The awarded requirement also carries the classification for publications, alongside graphic design services. This is a focused production-support engagement rather than a broad communications, marketing or general consultancy requirement, so it is most relevant to businesses providing publication design, artwork preparation, proofing and related production support.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Red Stone was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 9 March 2026. The contract runs from 9 March 2026 to 13 October 2026. Its value is £30,280 excluding VAT, or £36,336 including VAT. The award date is 9 March 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open tender, and the published outcome identifies Red Stone as the successful supplier. The contract remains active for the stated period and relates solely to the design and proofing support required for ARA production.

This award demonstrates demand from National Wealth Fund Limited for a supplier able to support the production of formal publications through graphic design and proofing. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in publication artwork, layout, visual consistency, document checking and quality control before release. Experience handling structured, high-importance organisational material would be relevant, particularly where accuracy, presentation and dependable delivery matter. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large agency. Businesses with established publication-production workflows and demonstrable design and proofreading experience would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
