Summary of the contracting process

The University of Plymouth is planning a tender for Dental Indemnity Insurance, aimed at securing coverage for 170 clinical individuals and 40 corporate roles within a £179,000 budget. This procurement is classified under health insurance services and includes requirements for expert advice and defence against claims related to medical and dental practice. The contract period is set from 27th November 2019 to 16th December 2019, and the procurement method is listed as a future opportunity.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specializing in health and medical insurance, particularly those that can offer indemnity solutions tailored to both clinical and non-clinical staff. Companies with experience in providing professional indemnity cover, as well as those equipped to offer expert legal guidance in claims management, would be particularly well-suited to compete. This is a valuable chance for small and medium-sized enterprises to engage with a prominent educational institution while expanding their service offerings in the healthcare sector.

Notice Title

Dental Imdemnity Insurance

Notice Description

All dental professionals must, by law, have an indemnity arrangement or insurance policy in place. This is so that any patient who suffers harm can recover any money they might be entitled to through compensation, in the event of a successful claim. The PDSE (Peninsular Dental Social Enterprise) are looking for expressions of interest from companies that can provide the adequate cover of indemnity insurance. We require a corporate indemnity solution for 170 clinical individuals and 40 corporate posts (not done by name but by role instead), that satisfies the requirement for clinical staff professional indemnity, as well as non-clinical staff. The service provider must be able to provide expert advice, guidance and defence against claims arising from the normal practice of medicine and dentistry in the UK. The contractual agreement is based on a 'claims made' process and provides support and guidance against claims made for clinical negligence including claimant costs, compensation costs and claims arising from Good Samaritan acts, for identified staff including vicarious liability.
