Description
This Contracts Finder Notice is supporting the following Prior Information Notice (PIN) reference - 2024/S 000-037325 and 2024/S 000-037382.
The UK Infrastructure Bank became the National Wealth Fund ("NWF"), following the Chancellor's announcement on 14th October 2024.
We provide £27.8bn of finance and partner with the private sector and local government to support projects which help crowd in private investment and drive growth across the UK. We are wholly owned and backed by HM Treasury, but operationally independent.
Our investments must meet our triple bottom line: tackling climate change and driving regional and local economic growth; generating a positive financial return to create an enduring institution; being additional in the market, mobilising private finance.
NWF has a future requirement for Expert Network Services to support its due diligence processes, particularly in relation to equity investments being considered. NWF anticipates the Expert Network Services will serve as a useful resource for the Banking & Investment team, enabling them to directly access industry leading expertise when evaluating investment opportunities.
The scope of this procurement activity involves the issuing of a Request For Information ("RFI") as part of Early Market Engagement ("EME") to potential suppliers in connection with anticipated future formal procurement processes for the supply of Expert Network Services.
Through this RFI, NWF wishes to engage with potential suppliers of Expert Network Services to understand the solutions available within the expert network market, focusing on aspects such as service offerings, IT delivery and security related to the expert network platform, as well as contracting.
The RFI documentation includes: -
a. Instruction document which includes the RFI Questionnaire; and
b. Outline Specification associated with the future requirement for the supply of Expert Network Services.
To access the RFI documentation, click on 'View our Live Opportunities' from the home page, available on the following link: https://atamis-3929.my.site.com/s/Welcome.
Once you have found the opportunity (via the search function, using the title or reference number), to gain full access to the RFI documentation (including questionnaire), you will need to click on 'Register interest' - this will take you to the log-in page.
If you are not already registered on the system, you will need to do so before gaining full access to the documentation and being able to submit your response.
