UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

City College Norwich conducted an open procurement process to appoint an insurance brokerage service provider, with the award stage completed by December 2025. The contracting process aimed to select a suitable supplier for insurance brokerage services, culminating in an award to Alan Boswell Group with a contract valued at £16,200. The tender title was "Insurance Broker tender" under the industry category of financial and insurance services, specifically within the United Kingdom location of Norwich. A structured evaluation process led to Alan Boswell Group being selected as the supplier, with the contract slated to commence on 1st February 2026 and run until 31st January 2029, with possible extensions. Key procurement stages included planning and market engagement, followed by an active tender stage, demonstrating a thorough procurement cycle.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses involved in providing financial and insurance services to expand their portfolio by engaging with public sector entities. Companies with expertise in insurance brokerage, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality service at competitive pricing, would be well-suited to compete for similar future contracts. The procurement method adopted was open competition, encouraging participation from various suppliers, although in this process, no bids from small or medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) entered the final stage. The agreement includes renewal options which provide further prospects for businesses aiming to solidify their presence in the insurance sector while contributing to community investment initiatives. Potential bidders in upcoming tenders are encouraged to closely consider criteria such as customer care, account management, and crisis management to enhance their competitive edge.
