The contract, valued at approximately £1,345,605.30, was awarded to Aon, a large insurance provider based in Edinburgh. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically insurance services, and aims to address claims handling and tenants’ contents insurance needs for up to five years. The contract was awarded following an open procedure, with a substantial focus on both quality and price, where 60% of the evaluation was based on price criteria.
