Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office bought travel insurance services for its activities in the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within financial and insurance services and covers the provision of travel insurance to NAO personnel and operations. The appointed provider is Aon UK Limited, incorporating Griffiths & Armour, an Aon company. The buying organisation is the National Audit Office, based in London. This is a services requirement rather than a works or goods contract, and is focused on travel insurance provision rather than general insurance procurement. Businesses operating in travel insurance, insurance broking or related advisory services would find the subject matter relevant, particularly those able to support a public-sector organisation with travel-related insurance arrangements across the UK.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 July 2026 to Aon UK Limited. The award was made by direct call-off from Lot 1, Brokerage and Related Services, under the Crown Commercial Services Insurance and Related Services 4 Framework; the procurement method is selective. The contract starts on 1 August 2026 and has an initial four-year term ending on 31 July 2030, with an option to extend for a further 12 months to 31 July 2031. Its estimated value is up to £50,000 including VAT over the five-year period. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for travel insurance within the National Audit Office and shows that the buyer used a public-sector insurance framework call-off rather than an unrestricted standalone competition. A credible future competitor would need proven capability in travel insurance, insurance brokerage and related services, with the operational capacity to support a public audit body and its travelling personnel. Experience of arranging, administering and servicing travel insurance for organisations would be relevant, alongside the ability to meet public-sector framework requirements and provide dependable account management. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were identified as suitable organisation types, although the selected supplier is a large insurance business. Suppliers tracking this buyer should focus on this specific travel insurance and brokerage requirement.
