Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process by Transport for London (TfL) was focused on finding a service provider for the role of a Liability Claims Administrator. The procurement falls under the insurance services category, targeting the management and handling of various liability claims as part of TfL's General Liability Policy. The process used a restricted procedure and was open for electronic submission via the SAP Ariba portal. Key dates included the tender period ending on 27 November 2023, and the second stage invitations were sent on 13 December 2023. The contract, valued at £1,750,000, was awarded to Gallagher Bassett International Ltd and commenced on 1 July 2024, with the potential to run for up to five years, including extension options, across the United Kingdom, specifically within regions such as London.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in insurance and claims administration, particularly those with expertise in managing motor, employer, public liability, and uninsured disease claims. Companies with strong capabilities in providing technical quality and competitive pricing, as highlighted by the criteria weightings of 70% technical and 30% price, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. The procurement approach, being a selective and restricted procedure, demands suppliers to meet specific technical, economic, and suitability criteria, making it ideal for businesses with a robust background in complex claims management and service delivery in a public-facing environment.
