Summary of the contracting process

Cunninghame Housing Association and its subsidiary companies arranged insurance services through Cunninghame Housing via Howden UK Insurance Brokers Ltd. The requirement covers buildings insurance for commercial and residential properties, property owners’ liability, loss of rent or alternative accommodation, and terrorism cover. The work relates to the buyer’s property portfolio in South Ayrshire. This is a services procurement for insurers, Lloyd’s of London underwriters and managing general agents. The insurance requirement is presented as a single package covering the listed property and liability risks rather than separate service areas. The buyer is a public-law body operating in housing and community amenities, so suppliers with relevant housing-property insurance capability are the natural fit.

The procurement has reached the award stage. It used an open procedure, with written submissions in English, and bids were evaluated 60% on quality and 40% on price. Five bids were received, all electronically, including one from an SME. AXA Scotland was awarded the contract for the insurance package. The contract value is £573,371, compared with an estimated tender value of £719,000. The award decision was dated 11 August 2025 and the contract was signed on 1 October 2025. The contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend by a further 24 months after the initial 36-month period. The lot is recorded as cancelled, while the award and contract are recorded as active.

This opportunity demonstrates established demand for a combined property and liability insurance programme from a housing association, including terrorism protection and cover for rental income or alternative accommodation. A credible competitor would need to be an insurer, Lloyd’s of London underwriter or managing general agent, with the underwriting capacity and operational capability to cover both residential and commercial buildings. The stated minimum financial-strength requirement is an A rating from Standard & Poor’s or AM Best. Suppliers should also be able to evidence strong quality performance, since quality carried greater evaluation weight than price. The buyer required bidders to identify the staff and qualifications assigned to delivery, making suitably experienced insurance professionals and a clearly resourced service team important.
