Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Natural England procured insurance brokerage and agency services through its broker, Willis Towers Watson (WTW), to renew insurance cover for the 2026–27 financial year. The policies cover property, motor, combined liability, travel and professional indemnity. The work supports Natural England’s organisational insurance requirements and is delivered for the buyer in London.

The procurement is complete and WTW was selected for the contract. The award was made on 25 September 2026, at a value of £133,874.45. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2027. Natural England used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The stated procurement estimate was also £133,874.45. The requirement was treated as a single package, covering the five insurance policy types together. The recorded suitability assessment says the opportunity was not suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded.

For insurance brokers and insurers, this award demonstrates a recurring requirement at Natural England for brokerage and the placement or renewal of a broad portfolio of organisational cover: property, motor, combined liability, travel and professional indemnity. A credible competitor would need the ability to advise on and arrange all these lines, coordinate renewal across them, and meet the buyer’s requirements through a framework call-off route. The selected supplier was WTW, showing that a broker-led approach was used. The scale is a multi-policy annual insurance programme rather than a single-line policy. The recorded suitability assessment indicates that the requirement was not considered suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers should assess whether they have the breadth and organisational capacity to compete for a comparable package.
