Summary of the contracting process

The Nottingham University Hospital NHS Trust has completed the procurement process for insuring its motor vehicle fleet. The contract, valued at £250,000, was awarded to Protector Insurance on 30 June 2026, with coverage commencing on 1 July 2026 and extending until 30 June 2031. This procurement falls under the 'Motor vehicle liability insurance services' industry category and was executed via a selective procurement method through the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation's dynamic purchasing system. The process took place in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, with the tender reaching the award stage by the end of June 2026.

This tender represents a promising opportunity for businesses specialising in motor vehicle liability insurance, particularly those eager to work with large-scale clients like the NHS Trust. Small and medium-sized enterprises with the capability to provide comprehensive insurance coverage would find suitable competition here, given the contract's interest in engaging with SME suppliers. By securing such a contract, businesses can enhance their portfolio, establish strategic partnerships with major healthcare institutions, and potentially leverage this experience to branch into similar public sector procurements.

Notice Title

Insurance of Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust's Motor Vehicle Fleet

Notice Description

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust) requires a Supplier provision of insurance for the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust)'s motor vehicle fleet, including any hired vehicles (The Services). The Services cover legal liabilities in respect of death of or bodily injury to any person and/or damage to third party property (e.g. other vehicles, buildings etc) arising out of an accident in connection with its vehicle motor fleet. Therefore, the Trust requires a contract with the Supplier to ensure sufficient insurance cover is in place to cover such legal liabilities.

The term of the contract is 36 months with the option to extend for a further 24 months. This extension shall take the form of two 12 month incremental periods The contract has been procured via the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) 1198 Insurance Placement DPS: Insurance Brokerage & Insurance Procurement Frameworks | YPO
