Summary of the contracting process

Middlesbrough College procured insurance and associated services for the Middlesbrough College Group. The requirement covers insurance services for the college and its activities, with delivery based at Middlesbrough College, Dock Street, Middlesbrough, and coverage extending across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement falls within the insurance services category (CPV 66510000) and is classified as a services contract. It was bought by Middlesbrough College, with the requirement identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The scope is therefore relevant to insurers and insurance service providers able to arrange and administer cover for an education-sector organisation with UK and international exposure.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following an open procedure, described as a further competition for insurance services. Zurich Insurance Plc was awarded the contract on 8 September 2026, at an awarded value of £0. The contract period runs from 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2029. The original tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026. The selected supplier is responsible for the insurance and associated services requirement for Middlesbrough College Group over the three-year contract period. The process was structured as a single requirement rather than separate lots. The published outcome records an active award to Zurich Insurance Plc and confirms that the contract covers the same broad geographic scope as the tender requirement.

This award demonstrates established demand from a further-education college group for a managed insurance and associated services arrangement covering education operations with exposure across the UK and overseas territories. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the capability to design, place and administer suitable commercial insurance cover for a complex education-sector organisation, while supporting risks and activities in multiple jurisdictions. The successful supplier would also need the operational capacity to manage the relationship throughout a multi-year arrangement, including policy administration, claims handling, renewals and associated advice. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, so specialist or regional insurance businesses may be well placed where they can demonstrate the necessary market access, service capacity and understanding of college-group risks.
