Summary of the contracting process

Key Housing Association, together with its subsidiary Community Lifestyles, procured insurance services through an extension of their existing insurance provision contract. The requirement supports the organisations’ statutory and regulatory obligations as registered social landlords. The service covers the insurance provision already used by the housing association and its subsidiary, rather than a new works or goods requirement. Delivery is associated with Scotland, with the buyer based in Glasgow. The procurement falls within the insurance services category (CPV 66510000). Zurich Municipal was the existing insurance service provider named for the extension. The buyer is Key Housing Association, a public-law body operating in housing and community amenities.

The process concerned a limited award without prior publication of a competition, using a Regulation 72(1)(c) contract modification route for circumstances the buyer considered unforeseeable. It was structured as one lot and evaluated on price. The tender and lot are recorded as cancelled, while an active award to Zurich Municipal remains recorded and the related contract is active. The contract was signed on 15 January 2024 and is valued at £309,745.95. The intended extension ran from 31 May 2024 to 31 May 2025. A later award entry is marked unsuccessful and discontinued. The procurement was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement, and the modification was intended to extend the existing insurance arrangement rather than run a new competition.

For an insurance provider, this procurement demonstrates demand from a registered social landlord and its subsidiary for continuing commercial insurance cover in Scotland. A credible future competitor would need to understand the risk profile and statutory obligations of housing associations, provide insurance services at organisational scale, and demonstrate that its cover can support regulated social-landlord operations. The buyer’s use of a contract-modification route and price-based evaluation indicates that continuity, a defensible commercial offer and familiarity with the existing insurance requirement were important in this instance. Suppliers preparing for similar work should be able to manage cover for both the housing association and its subsidiary, explain how their provision meets regulatory requirements, and evidence capacity to replace an established provider.
