Summary of the contracting process

South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust procured insurance brokerage and related services for its vehicle insurance. The requirement is a five-year call-off under the insurance-related services framework and concerns brokerage rather than the provision of vehicles or insurance policies themselves. The work is associated with Crawley, where the Trust is based, and the United Kingdom. The service supports the Trust’s vehicle insurance arrangements. The procurement was classified as a service, with insurance brokerage and agency services as the specified category.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to A J Group Derby Limited. The Trust used a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The estimated and awarded value was £40,000. The award was dated 20 September 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031, covering five years. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026. The requirement was structured as one lot for brokerage and related services. The published procurement information records the award and supplier but does not set out a separate evaluation formula or detailed eligibility conditions.

This award shows that South East Coast Ambulance Service buys dedicated brokerage support for its vehicle insurance through a call-off from an established insurance-related services framework. A credible competitor when this requirement next reaches the market would need demonstrable insurance brokerage capability and the capacity to manage vehicle insurance arrangements for an ambulance service over a sustained contract. Experience with public-sector clients and large operational vehicle fleets would be relevant to demonstrating fit with the requirement, although no particular experience, accreditation or fleet capacity threshold is stated. The selected provider was an SME, showing that a smaller specialist brokerage was capable of winning this award. Suppliers should therefore assess both their framework access and their ability to deliver ongoing brokerage support to the Trust.
