Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Exeter City Council procured insurance brokerage and associated services for its operations in England. The requirement covers insurance brokerage and agency work, including the related professional support needed to arrange and manage the council’s insurance arrangements. It is a services contract, classified under CPV 66518000. The buying organisation is Exeter City Council, based at the Civic Centre in Exeter. The scope is therefore relevant to insurance brokers, insurance intermediaries and firms providing associated corporate insurance services, rather than insurers offering standalone underwriting capacity. Delivery is across England, making this a potentially relevant public-sector account for businesses with the capability to support a local authority’s insurance programme and related brokerage requirements.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Exeter City Council selected MARSH Ltd on 15 September 2025. The awarded value is £250,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2028. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2025 at 23:59. The procurement used a procedure recorded as “Other”. The award was made on the basis of the process set out for the competition; the available information does not identify separate quality, price or other weighted evaluation criteria. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the selected supplier is a large organisation.

This award demonstrates an established demand from Exeter City Council for a substantial, multi-year insurance brokerage and associated-services arrangement covering England. A competitor preparing for a future requirement from this buyer would need demonstrable capability in public-sector insurance brokerage, including advising on a local authority’s risks, arranging appropriate cover and managing associated insurance services throughout the relationship. Credibility would also depend on the capacity to support a council account consistently at this scale, provide suitably experienced brokerage staff and manage insurer and client relationships effectively. The procurement’s stated suitability for SMEs indicates that a smaller specialist broker could be relevant where it can evidence the necessary technical capability, service capacity and experience of comparable complex insurance programmes.
