Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) is currently managing the Insurance-Based Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme Concession Contract C, which falls under the services category, specifically focusing on damage or loss insurance. This procurement process is at the Award stage, with the contract actively awarded to Computershare Investor Services PLC. The contract, which has been extended to ensure service continuity until 31 March 2026, pertains to services delivered in England and Wales, with implications for landlords and tenants under the Housing Act 2004. The tender was originally initiated on 1 October 2012, and the delivery primarily takes place across the UK.

This concession contract presents considerable opportunities for businesses within the financial and insurance services sector, particularly those specialised in tenancy deposit protection schemes. Companies capable of providing innovative insurance solutions and dispute resolution services may find competitive advantages in this market, given the existing environment of landlords and letting agents seeking compliant insurance-based schemes. The ongoing requirements for tenancy deposit protection support a stable demand for such services, thus offering a pathway for business growth and collaboration within the insurance landscape.

Notice Title

Insurance-Based Tenancy Deposit Protection Scheme Concession Contract C

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

The Housing Act 2004 requires a landlord to protect a tenant's deposit from misappropriation in a government approved tenancy deposit (TDP) scheme for a home rented on an assured shorthold tenancy that started after 6 April 2007. Insurance-based TDP schemes allow landlords or letting agents to hold the physical deposits and charge a fee that is used to buy insurance to protect the deposits. A tenant may make a claim to the scheme should his or her deposit not be returned at the end of the tenancy in accordance with statutory deadlines. All TDP schemes are required to provide alternative dispute resolution as an alternative to the courts in the event of a dispute between tenant and landlord at the end of the tenancy. This notice relates to one of three existing suppliers which each offer an insurance-based scheme. The schemes compete with one another for customers.
