Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Preston College procured insurance and associated services from an insurance provider. The requirement covers insurance services (CPV 66510000) for the college, with delivery based at its St Vincent’s Road site in Fulwood, Preston, and potentially covering risks or activities in the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a service contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The buying organisation is Preston College. The requirement is relevant to insurers, insurance brokers and providers able to arrange and administer suitable education-sector insurance cover across the stated geographical scope, including providers supporting a further-education college and its operational activities.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure. Bids had to be submitted by 23 April 2026 at 1pm. Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Ltd was awarded the contract on 30 July 2026 for £465,776.75 including the published currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with the original requirement describing a two-year term and possible extensions of two further 12-month periods. Preston College is the buyer. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the published contract period matches the awarded period. The available outcome information identifies one awarded supplier.

This award demonstrates established demand from Preston College for a substantial, multi-year insurance and associated-services arrangement. A future competitor would need to provide credible insurance brokerage or underwriting capability for an education-sector client, with the capacity to manage a broad portfolio of risks and coordinate cover across UK and international locations. Relevant suppliers should be able to deliver reliable policy administration, renewals, claims support, risk advice and day-to-day account management at institutional scale. The opportunity is particularly relevant to brokers and insurers experienced in public-sector or further-education accounts, able to maintain service continuity over a long contract and support possible extensions. Smaller firms may also be well placed, since the procurement was expressly identified as suitable for SMEs.
