Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Ealing has bought a suite of insurance services, excluding property insurance, for its activities in the UK. The five lots cover employers’, public and products liability and fidelity guarantee; motor fleet; engineering insurance and inspection of plant and machinery, including lifts and lifting equipment; group personal accident, travel and school journey cover; and terrorism insurance for damage to insured property. The casualty cover includes legal liabilities arising from the Council’s activities and employee conduct, while fidelity cover addresses losses caused by dishonest acts and computer fraud. The service also includes claims handling across cover lines. Engineering inspection work must cover scheduled plant, with inspection timing aligned to existing schedules or legal requirements. School journey cover includes pupils and staff or volunteers on trips.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been signed. Ealing used a competitive flexible procedure under the Procurement Act 2023, with five lots evaluated and awarded individually. Risk Management Partners and Maven Public Sector were selected; the contract value is £3,906,642 excluding tax (£4,416,240 including tax). The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2030, with an option to extend by two years at the Council’s discretion. Evaluation for each lot weighted price at 55%, quality at 40% and social value at 5%. The contract includes a claims service and, for engineering inspections, performance requirements covering advance scheduling, prompt results and reports, defect re-inspections and attendance.

This award shows demand from Ealing for a broad insurance portfolio, but suppliers could also compete for individual lines rather than the whole package. Relevant capabilities include placing and administering public-sector liability, fidelity, motor, engineering, personal accident, travel, school journey or terrorism cover, with effective claims handling. Engineering specialists need the ability to inspect scheduled plant and machinery, including pressure equipment, electrical and mechanical plant, lifts and lifting gear, and to coordinate inspections with legal requirements and maintenance contractors. Credible providers should be able to deliver reliable inspection reporting and follow-up of defects, as well as meet the Council’s operational requirements for claims and policy cover. The evaluation placed the greatest weight on price, while also assessing service quality and social value; suppliers need a sound offer across those areas.
