Summary of the contracting process

Crawley Borough Council has issued a modification notice for a further competition within the Insurance Placement DPS for property, liability, crime, motor fleet, and personal accident insurance services. The original contract, awarded on 31st March 2020 and initially set for a period of 60 months, has been extended by 12 months due to delays in transitioning to a new insurance scheme. This extension was necessary following late notice from the new scheme holders. The contract, valued at approximately £8.35 million, now remains active until 31st March 2026. The procurement category is services within the insurance sector and the location is Crawley, region UKJ28 in the United Kingdom.

This extension presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in the insurance sector, particularly those specialising in property, liability, and motor fleet insurance services. Small and medium-sized enterprises can leverage their expertise to build relationships with local councils and cater to public sector requirements. Zurich Management Services Limited, a large-scale supplier, is the current contracted party, highlighting the potential for both established companies and new entrants to collaborate or compete in this local government procurement environment.
