Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochford District Council bought a corporate insurance programme covering material damage and business interruption, including terrorism; combined liability; crime; personal accident and business travel; computer risks; and motor fleet. The requirement is for insurance services, protecting the council against a broad range of property, operational, liability and employee-related risks. The insured organisation is Rochford District Council, and the recorded delivery postcode is SS6 8BA. The policies span several distinct risk areas, so the requirement suits insurers able to provide or coordinate comprehensive commercial cover rather than suppliers focused on a single insurance line.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Zurich Insurance Company Ltd. The award was made on 30 July 2026, with cover running from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2031. The awarded value is £701,660. Rochford District Council used a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender had a stated estimated value range of £280,664 to £701,660, and the submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was treated as a single corporate insurance programme; the published details do not break the award into separate insurance lots.

For insurers assessing future Rochford District Council requirements, this award demonstrates demand for a multi-line corporate policy combining property and business interruption cover, liability, crime, personal accident and travel, computer risks, and motor fleet insurance. A credible competitor would need underwriting capacity across these risk classes, or the ability to assemble a coordinated offer that covers them as one programme. The successful supplier was a large insurer, indicating that the buyer selected a provider able to take on the programme at substantial scale. SMEs were considered suitable to compete, so size alone was not an exclusion; specialist insurers or intermediaries with the necessary capacity, breadth of cover and experience in public-sector corporate insurance may also be relevant.
