Summary of the contracting process

Accent Housing Limited, part of Accent Group Ltd, procured insurance and related services for its UK-wide operations. The requirement covers property damage and business interruption, employers’, public, products and property owners’ liability, business combined and office risks, money, all-risks, computer, contract works, group personal accident, professional indemnity, fidelity guarantee or crime, employment practices liability, terrorism and political violence, directors’ and officers’ liability, and alternative risk financing. The procurement also includes insurance claims adjustment and risk management services. The work is divided across specialist insurance requirements, including general non-life risks, terrorism and political violence, directors’ and officers’ liability, professional indemnity, crime and alternative risk financing. Accent Housing Limited is the buying organisation.

This procurement has been awarded, with contracts signed on 27 March 2026. It used an open competitive flexible procedure with multiple stages, including conditions of participation and shortlisting. Evaluation was weighted equally between cost and quality, at 50% each. Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Ltd was awarded the general property, liability and other non-life insurance lot for £1,125,000 gross, with a contract from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029 and options extending to 31 March 2031. Advisory Insurance Brokers Ltd was awarded the non-Pool Re terrorism and political violence lot for £30,000 gross on the same period. Jensten Insurance Brokers (London & SE) Ltd was awarded the directors’ and officers’ liability and professional indemnity lots for £35,000 gross, also over the same period. Each contract allows two further 12-month renewals.

This award shows sustained demand from a housing group for a broad, commercially significant insurance programme rather than a single policy. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need strong broking and risk-placement capability across property, liability, professional indemnity, crime, terrorism and political violence, together with access to suitable insurance carriers. The successful model allowed a broker to place risks within a lot with different insurers, provided full carrier details were supplied, so market access and insurer relationships are important. Credible competitors should also demonstrate reliable claims adjustment, risk management, service delivery and cost control for a complex public-sector housing portfolio. The equal cost-and-quality evaluation indicates that competitive pricing must be supported by a clear, robust service proposition.
