Summary of the contracting process

Havebury Homes procured insurance and related services for its housing partnership, covering property damage and business interruption, employers’, public, products and property-owners’ liability, motor vehicles, engineering plant inspection, cyber risks, terrorism and political violence, and directors’ and officers’ liability. The programme also includes other general non-life risks, such as office, money, computer, contract works, personal accident and employment-practices cover. The buyer may decide which risks to include. Insurance services (CPV 66510000) are delivered across the UK. The work can include insurance placement and brokerage, claims adjustment, risk management and cover provided by insurers. The procurement was divided into separate lots for the different risk areas, allowing individual evaluation and awards to one or more providers. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to compete.

The procurement has been awarded following a multi-stage competitive flexible procedure, with shortlisting between stages. The award date was 7 May 2026. Zurich Municipal won property and general risks (£4,559,370.35), motor (£336,653.40), engineering (£121,852.25) and cyber (£98,000) lots. Advisory Insurance Brokers won non-Pool Re terrorism/political violence (£37,050) and directors’ and officers’ liability (£75,820). The separate Pool Re terrorism lot remains active, with no award recorded. Contracts were signed on 23 June 2026 and run from 24 June 2026 to 23 June 2029, with options to extend by up to two further years, subject to satisfactory service, performance and cost. The expression-of-interest deadline was 14 November 2025. Evaluation weighted cost and quality differently by lot: cost ranged from 40% to 70%, with quality making up the balance.

This requirement suits insurance brokers and insurers able to assemble suitable cover across a housing provider’s diverse non-life risks, either directly or through proposed risk carriers. Credible suppliers need the financial strength to support the programme; nominated insurers must hold at least BBB from Standard & Poor’s, B++ from AM Best, or an equivalent rating, with additional review and buyer acceptance where a rating is below A-. Strong competition will also require a choice of suitable insurers or cover options, and a skilled team covering client relationship management, claims, broking or underwriting, and insurable risk management. Suppliers must be able to demonstrate consistent service quality, including the performance of any third-party contractors and insurers. The contracts’ service measures also point to the importance of timely renewal terms and policy documents, alongside regular claims discussions with the account manager.
