Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) conducted a tender exercise for Insurance and Claims Handling Service in March 2018, but had to abandon it due to the lack of valid submissions.

Businesses with experience in insurance services and a track record of delivering quality solutions should consider participating in this procurement. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service is the buying organization overseeing this procurement, with Zurich Municipal currently awarded the contract.
