## Summary

NEST Corporation engaged a financial consultancy partner for Phase 5 of its data platform work. The assignment supports the wider Northern Trust Data Platform implementation and builds on work with NEST Invest and Northern Trust, including design decisions made in Phase 4b. The scope covers non-MVP data platform activity, specifically the design of NEST Snowflake partitioning and the Power BI reporting layer, as well as leading the selection of a private markets solution. The buying organisation is the National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Corporation. The award identifies delivery in the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and awarded following a selective call-off under a framework; it was not a competitive call-off. Alpha Financial Markets Consulting UK Limited was selected. The award date was 5 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 12 October to 18 December 2026. The awarded value is £243,000 excluding VAT (£291,600 including VAT). The process covered one lot. Its stated evaluation basis and supplier eligibility requirements are not described in the available process information.

For future work of this kind with NEST, a credible competitor would need to combine financial-services consultancy with practical data-platform design capability. Relevant experience would include shaping Snowflake partitioning and Power BI reporting layers, working alongside an existing platform implementation partner and the buyer’s investment team, and progressing activity beyond a minimum viable product. The requirement also indicates a need to lead the assessment and selection of a private markets solution, so suppliers should be able to support solution evaluation as well as technical design. The work is a focused, short-phase consultancy assignment within a wider implementation rather than a standalone platform build. Alpha Financial Markets Consulting UK Limited’s selection demonstrates that a financial consultancy supplier was chosen for this combination of data-platform and private-markets work.

## Notice

Building on work completed to date and the progress made with both Nest Invest and Northern Trust alongside key Data Platform design decisions made in Phase 4b, Nest Invest is seeking a partner to work with the team over the course of the next phase ('Phase 5') to progress non-MVP Data Platform activity (including Nest Snowflake partition design and Power BI reporting layer design) in support of the wider Northern Trust Data Platform implementation, and lead the selection of a Private Markets solution.
