Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process is for Insurance Services initiated by Bield Housing & Care, located in Edinburgh, UK. This tender falls under the services category and was previously actively awarded to Thistle Insurance Services Ltd and Marsh Limited.

The current contract, initially valued at approximately GBP 2.3 million, was signed on 10 February 2016, and will undergo retendering starting in July 2021.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential for insurance brokers and service providers, particularly those specialised in insurance services.

Lot Information

Lot 1
