Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured specialist terrorism insurance cover as part of its wider insurance programme. The policy provides protection against losses arising from acts of terrorism. This is a commercial insurance service, classified under CPV 66510000, covering the Council’s requirements in the East Midlands. The requirement is relevant to insurers, insurance brokers and risk advisers able to arrange or provide terrorism cover for a local authority. The awarded supplier, Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited, is an insurance brokerage business. The work concerns protection for the Council rather than physical construction, repairs or other operational services, so relevant expertise lies in public-sector insurance placement, terrorism risk and associated policy management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited on 31 March 2026. Derby City Council used a direct award procedure described as “Other - Direct Award”. The award value is £102,256.53 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 12:00. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. The selected supplier is responsible for the terrorism insurance cover, with the contract forming part of the Council’s overall insurance programme.

This award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for specialist terrorism insurance arranged at a substantial, but focused, contract scale. Businesses that may be well placed for a future requirement include insurers with terrorism-risk underwriting capability and brokers experienced in placing specialist cover for councils or other public bodies. Credibility would come from understanding local-government insurance programmes, assessing risks arising from terrorism, structuring suitable protection against resulting losses and managing the policy throughout its term. Suppliers should also be able to work with a council buyer and integrate a specialist terrorism policy into a wider portfolio of public-sector insurance arrangements. The opportunity is particularly relevant to established insurance SMEs with the technical expertise and brokerage capacity to support this type of requirement.
