Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Insurance Brokerage 2026" contract was managed by Lancashire Constabulary, using the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) Framework 1160. The tender was for insurance services in the North West region of the United Kingdom and was facilitated via a direct award to Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited. The award status is complete as of 8th July 2026, following the conclusion of the tender on 28th May 2026. This contract period spans from 1st July 2026 to 30th June 2029, with an option for annual renewal up to 30th June 2031. The procurement method was selective, through a call-off from a framework agreement, and the total contract value is set at £20,000.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for firms with expertise in providing insurance services to law enforcement agencies. Large-scale insurance brokerage firms, such as Arthur J. Gallagher, who are already equipped for servicing public sector contracts, would find this contract highly suitable. Although smaller enterprises were not the focus, the framework alignment allows substantial firms with established public service experience to streamline contract acquisition and establish long-term relationships within the Northern Police Consortium. Such opportunities underscore the potential for expanded market presence and consistent revenue through reliable, long-term contracts with governmental bodies.
