Summary of the contracting process

The Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) is conducting a complete procurement process for a "Staff Absence Protection & Reimbursement Framework" that primarily serves the education sector, including schools, academies, and further education institutions across the UK. The procurement is classified under services, specifically insurance services (CPV code 66510000). The open procedure allows participation from various providers, with a tender period that concluded on 24 February 2021. Notably, the total estimated value of the framework agreement is £60 million, structured into two lots focusing on Staff Absence Insurance and a Discretionary Mutual arrangement, both actively seeking proposals from suppliers.

This procurement opportunity presents a significant prospect for businesses in the insurance and educational services sectors. Companies specialising in insurance solutions tailored for educational institutions, especially those with capabilities to manage staff absence costs, would find this tender particularly aligned with their offerings. Additionally, local authorities managing educational establishments could also benefit from leveraging the framework. Given the potential for substantial contracts and the inclusion of preferred providers within the CPC network, this is an advantageous opportunity for both large firms and SMEs seeking to expand their reach within the education sector.
