Summary of the contracting process

Kent Fire & Rescue Service has completed the procurement process for the "Engineer Inspection Service Travel Insurance" contract, focusing on engineering inspection and business travel insurance services. Classified under the insurance services category (CPV ID: 66510000), this contract, valued at £77,822.93, was directly awarded via a single tender action, below the threshold. The tender location is Maidstone, Kent (ME15 6XB), with the contract period running from 1 November 2024 to 31 October 2025. The procurement stage is at the 'Award' update, with the award being published on 21 November 2024 after the contract was actively awarded on 25 October 2024.

This tender creates significant business growth opportunities for large-scale insurance firms adept in providing engineering inspection and travel insurance services. Companies like Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, the awarded supplier, can leverage such contracts to strengthen their portfolio in public sector services, demonstrating reliability and expertise. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are less suited for this particular procurement due to the scale and specifics of the requirements. The tender's direct award method streamlines the process, making it ideal for established insurance providers with the capacity to meet stringent service standards.
