Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Epping Forest District Council procured insurance brokerage services for its council operations, with delivery associated with Epping, England. The requirement covers brokerage and related support for the council’s insurance arrangements. It is a services contract under CPV 66518100, Insurance brokerage services. The buyer is Epping Forest District Council, based at the Civic Offices on High Street, Epping. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, but not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected provider was a commercial insurance broker, indicating that the requirement is aimed at organisations able to advise a public-sector client and manage its insurance brokerage needs rather than supply insurance products directly. The service was procured through an existing framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 22 July 2026 to Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited. It used a selective call-off from a framework agreement, specifically YPO 1160 Insurance Brokerage and Associated Services. The awarded value is £12,500, with an annual cost of £2,500. The contract runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029, with two possible 12-month extensions. The tender submission deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. The procurement had one service requirement and was evaluated through the framework call-off process. The award is active. The successful supplier is a large organisation, while the procurement was also identified as suitable for SMEs, making framework access an important route to participation.

This award provides a clear example of Epping Forest District Council’s demand for ongoing insurance brokerage support delivered through a public-sector framework. Suppliers considering similar work with this buyer would need insurance brokerage capability, an understanding of council insurance requirements and the capacity to provide continuing advice and service management over a multi-year arrangement. Access to the relevant framework, or to a framework offering comparable insurance brokerage and associated services, would be important because the council used a framework call-off rather than an open standalone competition. The successful supplier’s profile also shows that established commercial brokers can compete, while the stated SME suitability indicates that smaller brokers may be credible where they can demonstrate appropriate public-sector delivery capacity and framework eligibility.
