Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by the Surrey & Borders Partnership NHS on behalf of NHS Commercial Solutions, involved a tender for an insurance policy covering property and associated liabilities for Spelthorne Borough Council. The contract, entitled "Spelthorne Insurance," falls under the industry category of property insurance services. It is managed by Marsh McLennan and NHS Commercial Solutions, with operations taking place primarily within the United Kingdom. The procurement adopted an open procedure and was conducted swiftly due to a state of urgency, as noted by the accelerated procedure rationale. The tender opened in August 2025 with the award stage completing in mid-September 2025, and the contract period extends from the end of September 2025 to September 2028, with permissible extensions, up to a total of three years. The procurement stage is complete, with an award notice published on 11th September 2025. The insurance contract was awarded to Zurich Insurance Company Ltd.

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses in the insurance sector, especially those capable of providing comprehensive property insurance services. The contract, worth an estimated £969,859.20, underscores a significant investment, appealing particularly to large-scale insurance firms with a strong financial backbone, as indicated by the supplier Zurich Insurance Company Ltd, known for its extensive market presence. Businesses adept at offering robust, competitive terms and rapid response capabilities would be best suited to engage in such tenders. Additionally, opportunities for subcontracting may arise, although the current award did not specify details.
