Summary of the contracting process

The Met Office, based in Exeter, has completed the procurement process for a corporate insurance package spanning from 2026 to 2029. This contract, valued at £939,718, falls under the insurance services category (CPV: 66510000) and was procured through a selective call-off from the DPS Framework RM6138. The tender, associated with the South West region of the United Kingdom, started its contract period on 1st July 2026, running until 30th June 2029. The award, published on 7th July 2026, marks the transition from the tender process to the awarding stage, with Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited as the supplier.

This contract represents a significant opportunity for large insurance service providers looking to establish a steady stream of revenue over a three-year term. Companies equipped with robust insurance solutions, especially those familiar with public sector frameworks like the RM6138, can benefit from similar future opportunities. The procurement, while not directly suited for SMEs or VCSEs, is ideal for large-scale brokers able to manage comprehensive corporate insurance packages and navigate selective procurement processes effectively.
