Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Assembly Commission has successfully completed the procurement process for the provision of Insurance Brokerage and Associated Services. The contract was awarded through an open procedure to Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers. The awarded contract includes services across various insurance categories such as employers’ and public liability, travel, and optional covers, with a focus on risk management, claims handling, and additional support services. Located in Belfast, the contract commenced on 16th January 2026, with a term ending on 31st December 2029, and it has an option for a 12-month extension. The procurement falls under the central government classification, with the total contract value amounting to £422,764 gross.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth within the insurance brokerage and risk management industries. Companies with expertise in financial and insurance services, particularly those offering innovative risk management solutions and advisory services, would find this sector advantageous. While the current contract was awarded to a large broker, there is potential for other qualified bidders to participate in future procurement opportunities, provided they can offer competitive insurance solutions and demonstrate a strong capability in managing comprehensive insurance brokerage services. The open procedure ensures that innovative SMEs focusing on niche insurance services also stand a chance of enhancing their market presence by competing for future opportunities under similar tenders.
