Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust procured pharmaceutical liability insurance for its commercial activities. The service covers the Trust’s legal liabilities for death or bodily injury arising from accidents connected with those activities. It addresses non-core NHS risks linked to commercial, research and product-related work, rather than clinical negligence or liabilities covered by NHS Resolution schemes. This is an insurance service, including medical and health insurance. Delivery relates to the Trust’s operations in Nottingham, at its Hucknall Road site in the East Midlands. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and was intended to protect the Trust against risks falling outside its usual NHS Resolution cover.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Newline Insurance Company Ltd. The award date was 30 June 2026, for £50,000. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2029. The estimated procurement range was £40,000 to £50,000. The Trust used a selective procedure as a call-off from the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation 1198 Insurance Placement Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender submission deadline was 30 June 2026 at noon. The recorded award is active, and the procurement status is complete. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one awarded requirement; no separate lot or alternative award is recorded.

This requirement is commercially relevant to insurers able to underwrite pharmaceutical liability risks for an NHS organisation whose activities extend beyond core patient treatment. A credible competitor would need products and underwriting expertise covering legal liability for death and bodily injury arising from accidents connected with commercial, research and product-related activities. It would also need to understand how such cover sits alongside NHS Resolution schemes, avoiding duplication with clinical negligence protection while addressing non-core exposures. Relevant firms should be able to operate through the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation’s insurance placement Dynamic Purchasing System and demonstrate the governance, claims handling and risk assessment needed for a public NHS customer.

Notice Title

Pharmaceutical Liability Insurance

Notice Description

The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust) requires a Supplier for provision of insurance for the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust)'s commercial activities. Pharmaceutical liability insurance covers legal liabilities in respect of death of or bodily injury to any person arising out of an accident in connection with its commercial activities. NHS Resolution Schemes (e.g. CNST, LTPS) are designed to cover core NHS activities, primarily clinical negligence arising from treatment of NHS patients and Liabilities directly linked to provision of NHS healthcare services. Pharmaceutical liability insurance covers liabilities in respect of noncore NHS risks arising from commercial, research, and product-related activities rather than standard clinical negligence. The Trust is therefore required to put a contract with a Supplier in place to provide pharmaceutical liability insurance to cover risks outside the scope of NHS Resolutions, responding to activities that fall outside the NHS Resolution Schemes. The term of the contract is 36 months. The contract has been procured via the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) 1198 Insurance Placement DPS: https://www.ypo.co.uk/frameworks-home/900197#documents
