Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured motor vehicle liability insurance for its vehicle fleet, including hired vehicles. The service covers the Trust’s legal liabilities for death or bodily injury to people and damage to third-party property, such as other vehicles and buildings, arising from accidents involving the fleet. The insurance enables claims to be handled under the relevant policy rather than paid from the Trust’s own budgets. This is a public-sector insurance service, classified as motor vehicle liability insurance services (CPV 66516100), with additional coverage for motor vehicle insurance services. Delivery relates to the Trust’s operations in Nottingham, East Midlands, at the Hucknall Road site.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Protector Insurance on 30 June 2026. The awarded value is £250,000. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2031, following a tender deadline of 29 June 2026 at 12:00. The initial requirement was described as 36 months, with an option for two additional 12-month extensions, resulting in the stated contract period. The Trust used a selective procedure through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, specifically the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation 1198 Insurance Placement DPS. The procurement was evaluated through that purchasing route rather than as an unrestricted tender. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This award indicates established demand from an NHS trust for commercial motor fleet liability insurance covering both owned and hired vehicles, with protection against substantial third-party injury and property claims. Relevant competitors would need to underwrite motor liability risk, arrange policy cover for a public-sector fleet, and demonstrate the capacity to manage claims involving vehicles, people and property. Experience serving NHS or other public bodies would help, particularly where financial controls, claims reporting and continuity of cover are important. A credible supplier would also need access to the relevant Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation dynamic purchasing system or an equivalent public-sector procurement route, and the organisational scale to support a multi-year fleet insurance arrangement.
