Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton (LBS) has completed the procurement for an "Insurance Legal Panel (2024)" under the CPV category of Financial and insurance services. The procurement aimed to establish a panel of experts to manage complex or litigated insurance claims, covering 10 boroughs including three London Boroughs and seven Surrey Boroughs. This contract covers services for various public bodies such as Epsom and Ewell Borough Council, London Borough of Merton Council, Mole Valley District Council, and others. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure with bids accepted electronically. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded in June 2024, and the service provision includes regions identified by UKI63.

This tender presents significant opportunities for legal firms specialised in insurance claims management to grow their business by securing long-term work with multiple public sector clients. The creation of a legal panel ensures steady demand for services, providing opportunities for businesses to establish or enhance relationships with public bodies. This is particularly advantageous for large legal firms with expertise in handling complex insurance cases, such as those already awarded the contract, including Browne Jacobson LLP, DAC Beachcroft LLP, DWF LLP, Kennedys Law LLP, and Weightmans LLP. Such firms will bring their specialised knowledge to support the insurance services across the covered regions, thereby facilitating business growth and expanding their client base within the public sector.
