Summary of the contracting process

York College procured insurance and associated services. The requirement combines two earlier CPC insurance arrangements: one for colleges and one for academies and schools. The resulting framework is intended for use by current and future CPC members, including further education institutions, universities, sixth forms, academies, schools, museums and similar organisations. Local authorities may also use it when purchasing on behalf of educational establishments. The named delivery address is York College, Sim Balk Lane, Bishopthorpe, York; the stated delivery coverage also extends across the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, Europe and the rest of the world. This is an insurance services procurement (CPV 66510000), led by York College.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Ltd on 9 October 2026. The award records a value of £0, while the tender estimate was £438,000; these are distinct figures and the award value should not be read as the tender estimate. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The competition used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 19 September 2026. The framework combines the college and schools/academies insurance requirements; no separate lots or evaluation criteria are recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable to compete. The framework is designed for the eligible CPC-member education and related organisations, with local authorities able to procure for educational establishments.

For insurance brokers and insurers, this award demonstrates demand for an education-sector insurance arrangement spanning colleges, universities, sixth forms, academies, schools, museums and similar organisations, rather than a single institution’s cover alone. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to arrange and service insurance across varied educational settings and support a framework that can be used by multiple eligible member organisations, potentially including local-authority purchasing on their behalf. The selected supplier was Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Ltd, showing that an insurance broker was appointed. The stated suitability for SMEs indicates that smaller firms were regarded as capable of competing. The requirement’s broad geographic coverage also points to a need to handle risks and services across the UK and the listed international locations. These capabilities are directly relevant to future education-sector insurance requirements of this kind.
