Summary of the contracting process

The National Wealth Fund Limited (NWF) issued an award for a Group Income Protection Policy, classified under the insurance services industry category (CPV 66510000). The procurement location is within the United Kingdom. The tender process was labelled as "complete" and was conducted using a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to its below-threshold value. The contract, involving a value of GBP 520,930.80, commenced on 1st September 2023 with Canada Life Limited as the supplier. Notable is the provision for two optional 12-month extensions, with the maximum end date being 31st August 2026. The delayed award notice was issued on 19th December 2024.

This contract presents substantial business growth opportunities, especially for firms specialising in insurance services, looking to secure significant long-term agreements with public entities. Businesses that offer competitive pricing yet maintain high service standards would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. The detailed nature of the Group Income Protection Policy involves consistent and reliable service, appealing to large-scale insurance providers capable of managing extensive client portfolios like those of NWF's staff.
