Common questions

Frequently asked.

What does NatQuest do?

NatQuest is a Commercial Intelligence company. It helps public institutions, growth enterprises and complex supply chains make better commercial decisions through three connected capability areas: Technology, Advisory & Transformation, and Knowledge & Capability. The common thread is turning evidence into decisions that can be defended and repeated, rather than analysis that is produced and filed.

What is a Commercial Intelligence company?

A Commercial Intelligence company applies artificial intelligence, trusted data, market insight and commercial judgement to commercial decision-making. Rather than delivering a report and leaving, it works on the decision itself: the information it draws on, the criteria it is judged against, and the record it leaves behind. NatQuest applies this across procurement, tendering, supplier management and supply chain.

Where is NatQuest based?

NatQuest is a Scottish company with its registered office at Inspire Hub, Level 6 Graham Hill Building, 50 Richmond Street, Glasgow G1 1XP. It is registered in Scotland as NatQuest Limited, company number SC762053. It is headquartered in Glasgow, with projects delivered across the United Kingdom, Africa and the Middle East.

Who leads NatQuest?

NatQuest is led by Dr Salisu Uba, FCIPS, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, a commercial and procurement transformation leader; and Abraham Onoja, Chief Technology Officer, who leads the technology behind the company’s intelligence-led platforms. Every engagement has a named, senior point of contact.
