The City & County of Swansea has concluded a procurement process for a "Combined Liabilities Policy," which includes Employers', Public, Products, and Pollution Liability as well as other extensions such as Election Indemnity and Act of Terrorism cover. This procurement falls under the financial and insurance services category and is guided by the UK Public General Acts 2023/54. It is located in Swansea, UK, region UKL18. The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the contract period set to commence on 15th October 2025 and conclude on 14th October 2028, with an option to extend for another three years.
