## Summary

The National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Corporation procured financial consultancy services for Lot 2, call-off 9, to support its Transformation Programme. The work builds on the programme’s earlier phases: embedding and finalising the Target Operating Model in Phase 4a, then continuing implementation and handover in Phase 4b. The programme was approaching its conclusion and planned to wind down at the end of 2026. Delivery is in the United Kingdom; the buyer is based in London. The requirement formed part of NEST’s work to complete its transformation programme, rather than a general financial advisory assignment.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Alpha Financial Markets Consulting UK Limited. The award was made on 5 October 2026 for £262,000 excluding VAT (£314,400 including VAT). The contract period runs from 14 October to 18 December 2026. NEST used a selective procedure to make a call-off under a framework agreement; the call-off was not competitive. The procurement comprised one lot, covering the financial consultancy services for the transformation programme. The award information identifies the successful supplier and the service category, but gives no further detail of the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements.

This award shows that NEST uses framework call-offs for specialist financial consultancy supporting transformation delivery, including operating-model implementation, handover and programme close-down. Suppliers seeking comparable future work should be able to demonstrate financial consultancy expertise alongside practical experience turning a target operating model into operational arrangements and supporting implementation through to handover. Credibility is likely to depend on the ability to work within a defined transformation programme and deliver focused support during its concluding phase. The selected supplier was a large consultancy, indicating that substantial consulting capacity may be relevant, although the award does not state a formal size threshold or required accreditation. Relevant firms should consider whether they can access an appropriate framework route and bring delivery experience closely aligned to NEST’s transformation needs.

## Notice

Building on the work completed to date, including the embedding and finalisation of the Target Operating Model ('TOM') in Phase 4a and the continued implementation and handover activity delivered in Phase 4b, the Transformation Programme is now approaching its conclusion and will wind down by the end of 2026 (Friday 18th December).
