Summary of the contracting process

HM Government of Gibraltar has successfully completed the tender process for the insurance of marine vessels for the period 2026-2029. This procurement, classified under CPV code 66514150 for vessel insurance services, was conducted using an open procedure with the award criteria being the most economically advantageous proposal. The process reached its award stage on 10th June 2026, and Callaghan Insurance Brokers Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), was awarded the contract valued at approximately GBP 295,386.03. The contract period will commence on 1st August 2026 and conclude on 31st July 2029, with the services to be delivered in Gibraltar. It is essential to note that the tender was not open to variants and had a submission deadline of 14th May 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for SMEs capable of providing competitive and comprehensive vessel insurance services. Businesses in Gibraltar, the UK, or territories with relevant trade agreements are well-positioned to compete in this domain, particularly given Gibraltar's exclusion from the WTO's GPA. Firms that can deliver economically advantageous offers while ensuring compliance with international and local regulatory standards will find this contract beneficial for establishing and expanding their footprint within Gibraltar's insurance market. The procurement explicitly encourages participation from SMEs, suggesting a preferable stance towards such entities in government tenders, paving the way for increased market entry and competitive leverage.
