Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust bought vehicle fleet insurance services for its fleet. The insurance covers vehicles used by the Trust, with delivery or coverage locations listed across the United Kingdom, Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. This is a motor vehicle insurance service (CPV 66514110), procured by the NHS foundation trust based in Poole. The requirement is specifically for fleet cover rather than general insurance, so it is most relevant to insurers and insurance brokers able to arrange and administer motor fleet policies for a healthcare organisation operating vehicles across a broad geographic footprint.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust selected BRIAN JOHNSTON & CO (INSURANCE BROKERS) LIMITED through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 29 June 2026 for £135,387.44. The contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. The tender deadline was 29 May 2026 at 17:00. The procurement was for services and recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lot breakdown or award evaluation criteria are recorded in the process details.

The award demonstrates demand from Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust for vehicle fleet insurance arranged through a framework call-off, with coverage spanning the UK and a range of overseas territories and destinations. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to provide or broker motor fleet insurance capable of meeting a healthcare trust’s operational needs across that geographic reach, and to work effectively within a framework agreement’s call-off process. The selected supplier is an insurance broker, indicating that brokerage and placement capability can meet the requirement; insurers with suitable fleet products and brokers able to secure and manage broad territorial cover are relevant competitors. The recorded SME and VCSE suitability is false, so this opportunity has been positioned for suppliers outside those categories.
