Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is conducting a selective procurement process titled "Provision of Insurance" which covers protective insurance services for various key areas. This process is governed by the UK Public General Act 2023/54, utilising a competitive flexible procedure under Northern Irish devolved regulations. Located in Belfast, the Housing Executive seeks insurance services without broking services included, with the tender process progressing through awards granted as of March 2026, and contracts commencing from April 2026 till March 2027 across multiple lots such as Material Damage, Employers' Liability, and others. Strategic deadlines included the standstill period ending on 18th March 2026 and the award notification sent out on 6th March 2026.

This insurance procurement tender presents significant growth opportunities for large-scale insurance companies equipped to provide services in the public authority sector, particularly in areas including public liability and motor fleet insurance. Firms like Intact Insurance and ZURICH INSURANCE COMPANY LTD, which operate with a strong capacity to manage and offer diverse insurance products, would find substantial opportunity in competing for these contracts, given the potential for contract renewals contingent on predefined loss ratio targets. Additionally, the long-term agreement options to extend contracts offer sustained business engagement and revenue potential over multiple years.
