Summary of the contracting process

The Bernicia Group, a prominent housing association in the United Kingdom, has recently completed the procurement process for the provision of insurance and related services. This procurement, classified under CPV code 66510000, pertains to non-life insurance services encompassing property, legal liability, and general insurable risks. The process, which utilised a selective procurement method through a negotiated procedure, culminated in an award on 28th October 2024. Marsh Insurance Brokers emerged as the successful bidder, securing the contract valued at £5.4 million. The contract period is set from 29th October 2024 to 28th October 2027, with the services intended to cover regions including but not limited to the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and other international locations.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses engaged in the insurance sector, especially those specialising in bespoke and wide-ranging coverage solutions. While Marsh Insurance Brokers, a large-scale firm, has been awarded the contract, the scale and scope of such tenders can also present collaboration opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those with niche specialisation that can complement the services required by large buying organisations such as the Bernicia Group. Businesses looking to grow should consider aligning with firms of Marsh’s calibre or directly target similar tenders where their unique capabilities and localised knowledge can add significant value.
