Summary of the contracting process

Aberdeen City Council has awarded a contract for the "Tenants Home Contents Insurance Scheme" to Aon UK Limited, through an open procedure. This scheme offers property insurance services within the Aberdeen City (Region UKM50), providing affordable household contents insurance to tenants against risks such as fire, flood, and vandalism. The contract, with its status currently active, was signed on 31st January 2023 and is set to run for 1800 days, with an estimated contract value of £1,130,000. Recent updates in May 2026 have noted an increase in the estimated value due to stronger tenant uptake and increased premium levels, but no change in the contract scope or duration.

This procurement presents a growth opportunity predominantly for large-scale insurance service providers capable of managing comprehensive property insurance schemes. The contract's appeal is enhanced due to its extended duration, allowing for long-term strategic planning. The open procedure suggests a competitive environment open to suppliers who can deliver high-quality services in line with council policies. Businesses positioned to innovate around tenant insurance products and manage large client portfolios might find this opportunity particularly rewarding.

As a result of this and an increased uptake in the programme, the total estimated value of tenant-paid insurance premiums over the full five-year contract term is 1,130,000 GBP. There is no other change to the service scope, contract terms, pricing mechanism, or duration of the contract.",

The original estimates were based on 2021 data and prudent assumptions prior to tender completion. These combined circumstances could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of contract award and do not alter the nature, scope or duration of the contract."
