Summary of the contracting process

The Marine Package Insurance project, led by North Devon District Council, focused on securing a contract for comprehensive marine insurance services, encompassing harbour wall cover, marine liabilities, wreck removal, and pollution clean-up. Categorised under insurance services (CPV code: 66510000), the procurement process concluded with an active contract awarded to Chaucer Group. This tender, identified by ID DN776657, followed a limited procurement method tailored for contracts below threshold, emphasizing limited competition within sub-central government authorities. The contract runs from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026, valued at £38,000, and it targets the delivery regions around South West England.

This tender presents promising growth opportunities for companies specialising in insurance services, particularly those able to provide specialised marine coverage. Given the nature of the contract and the limited competition procurement method, it aligns well with larger entities capable of delivering comprehensive insurance solutions in line with government standards. Businesses familiar with public sector requirements, especially those with experience in partnerships with sub-central government authorities, would find this project advantageous for expanding their portfolio and strengthening their market presence in specialised service provisions.
