Investment Tenders and Contracts

Investment procurement covers investment advisory and adviser appointments for council property holdings and combined authority funds, investment management and portfolio mandates for pension funds and treasury bodies, investment appraisal and business case support for capital programmes, and annual valuation of investment properties for the statutory accounts.

Stotles brings together investment tenders and contracts from 100+ portals into one search, so you do not have to check each portal separately, and you can set alerts for new opportunities across the UK and Ireland.

If you want to search the government portals directly, Find a Tender carries higher-value contracts across the UK and Contracts Finder carries lower-value contracts in England. Public Contracts Scotland, Sell2Wales and eTendersNI cover Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Ireland's eTenders covers Irish public bodies, and many councils, NHS bodies and housing associations publish on their own e-tendering portals such as ProContract. Pension fund investment consultancy is often called off the national LGPS investment management consultancy framework, and property valuations are let as annual contracts.

Investment advisers must be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority for regulated advice, and property valuations follow the RICS Red Book. Tenders usually set minimum professional indemnity insurance, check financial standing and ask for evidence of similar mandates at selection stage. Under the Procurement Act 2023, suppliers can be excluded for certain criminal convictions, insolvency or failure to pay tax.

Pension scheme consultancy is often called off the National LGPS investment management consultancy framework, while property valuations are bought as annual or short contracts. Councils, pension funds and pools, universities and housing associations are the main buyers.

Read finance and governance reviews, compliance requirements, framework renewal dates and expiry dates for existing contracts, which show investment work coming due ahead of a notice. On Stotles you can track those signals and the buyers behind them, then follow a notice from pre-tender through to award.

Investment notices are advisory rather than capital purchases and carry 66171000 (Financial consultancy services) and 79000000 (Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security). Property-led investment funds also carry 70000000 (Real estate services).
