Notice Title

Insurance Services (Professional Indemnity)

Notice Description

London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC) is placing this notice on behalf of ten members of the LUPC Insurance Group, which intend entering into a contract for the procurement of professional indemnity insurance cover commencing 1 August 2021 on a 12-month basis.

Procurement Information

A full OJEU tender placed via in 2020 for up to 5 years resulted in a single, subsequently awarded bid on behalf of the LUPC Insurance Group (IG). Immediately prior to the 1 August 2021 renewal, the provider notified that terms would not be re-offered to several IG members. All known and capable professional indemnity insurers in the market were approached by the IG's appointed broker Gallagher, through whom it was confirmed in writing that they would again not be responding to a formal tender process. Gallagher therefore sought and acquired a Line Slip multi-insurer solution through their Specialty and Wholesale Division team in the knowledge that no acceptable bids would be received via a tender process.
