UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, led by South Holland District Council alongside Boston Borough Council and East Lindsey District Council, involves the tendering of Insurance Services excluding brokerage services within the industry category of insurance. These councils operate under the South & East Lincolnshire Council Partnership to enhance efficiencies. The procurement covers various lots, indicating tailored insurance needs across property, motor, and other liability covers. The project spans approximately three years starting 1st August 2025, with potential extensions. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, completed in stages from tendering to award by August 2025, covering the UKF region of the United Kingdom.

This tender creates significant opportunities for growth, particularly for insurance companies and related service providers. Large-scale insurers like Travelers Insurance Company Ltd, Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, and Aspen Insurance UK Limited have already secured contracts, pointing to the lucrative nature of the project. Smaller enterprises (SMEs) could explore subcontracting or specialist service provisions in various lots such as statutory inspections or niche insurance areas like fidelity guarantees. Given the structured phase of procurement and clear segmentation into lots, diverse businesses in insurance and related services can leverage partnerships or consortium bids to engage with this substantial public sector opportunity.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Insurance Services (excluding Brokerage Services)

Notice Description

The objective of this procurement is to procure the key insurance coverage requirements of the council(s), including procurement of statutory inspections. This tender is for Insurance Services (Excluding Brokerage Services). The three councils covered under this procurement work together as "The South & East Lincolnshire Council Partnership (SELCP)", which is the largest Council partnership in the country and, whilst they are distinct separate legal entities, their close working partnership means they can make a greater impact and bring efficiencies in tackling wider common challenges; In many cases, section 113 agreements exist between the councils where one council will employ a member of staff and these costs are then recharged proportionately across other authorities. As such, we are looking to procure both those requirements where a separate risk profile exists and join those requirements where there is some commonality and in particular due to the cross-over of roles and responsibilities between the parties. As all three councils are separate legal entities, there is a requirement that for those Lots where we are looking to procure the three authorities' requirements under one Lot, the successful bidders have in place a process where, if separate policies are not issued, then costs can be apportioned to each authority in its own right. There is a further organisation key to the councils' partnership which is PSPSL Ltd; This is a separate Local Authority Trading Company, wholly owned by the three councils and who perform certain core internal functions on behalf of the three councils.
