Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for insurance brokerage services was initiated by Derbyshire Support & Facilities Services in association with Chesterfield Royal Hospital Foundation Trust. The contract, titled "INSURANCE BROKER (DSFS & Chesterfield Royal Hospital Foundation Trust)," falls under the insurance services category and involves an open procedure above the threshold, ensuring wide participation. Located in Chesterfield, United Kingdom (postal code S44 5BL), the tender period concluded on 10th November 2023, and the contract period spans from 1st April 2024 to 31st March 2027. The award stage was completed with Griffiths & Armour Insurance Brokers selected as the supplier, confirmed active from 1st February 2024. This procurement process presents an opportunity structured mainly for larger firms, given its non-suitability for SMEs and VCSEs.

This tender opens up significant opportunities for insurance brokerages to expand their portfolio by securing long-term contracts with healthcare organisations like the Chesterfield Royal Hospital. Suitable candidates are large insurance brokers possessing comprehensive capabilities to manage extensive service agreements. With a contract value of over £2 million in one award, the financial commitment earmarked for this service underpins substantial business growth potential for brokers able to meet the rigorous requirements set by public sector clients. Competing in such tenders could solidify a broker's position in the healthcare sector, offering stability through multi-year engagements and access to further similar opportunities.
