## Summary

National Wealth Fund Limited procured lender’s technical adviser services for a construction project. The work covers technical and construction consultancy, including cost calculation and cost monitoring, project supervision, documentation and engineering advice. The adviser’s role is to provide the technical assurance a lender needs when assessing and overseeing a construction project. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The procurement was for services within architectural, construction, engineering and inspection consultancy (CPV 71000000), with more specific classifications covering cost monitoring, project supervision and construction consultancy. The selected supplier is Ove Arup & Partners Limited. This requirement is relevant to multidisciplinary engineering, construction consultancy and lender’s technical advisory practices able to scrutinise project costs, progress, documentation and technical risk for a public investment body.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. National Wealth Fund Limited used a limited award procedure without a prior published call for competition, through the Construction Professional Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Ove Arup & Partners Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 14 April 2026. The expected initial contract term is five years, with an extension of up to five years or until the project’s construction phase ends. The value is not committed and includes extensions; no awarded contract value is published. Three electronic bids were received, with valid bid values ranging from £100,000 to £3,500,000. Quality carried 70% of the evaluation and price 30%. The sole lot is recorded as cancelled, although the award and contract are active.

This award shows demand from National Wealth Fund Limited for a substantial, specialist lender’s technical adviser capable of supporting construction finance decisions and oversight. A credible future competitor would need a multidisciplinary team combining engineering, construction consultancy, cost management, project monitoring and technical documentation skills. The evaluation placed greater emphasis on quality than price, so bidders would need to demonstrate robust technical methods, clear reporting and effective assurance of project delivery, rather than compete on cost alone. Experience of advising lenders or investors on construction projects would be directly relevant, particularly where the adviser must test costs, monitor progress, review documentation and identify technical risks. The requirement also suits organisations with the capacity to maintain assurance over a long-running construction programme and any subsequent extension.
