Summary of the contracting process

Sheffield City Council, headquartered at The Town Hall, Pinstone Street, Sheffield, has concluded the procurement process for "Leaseholder Block Insurance," aimed at insuring private dwellings sold on a leasehold basis under the Right to Buy legislation. This insurance covers flats and houses where the Council retains freehold ownership, ensuring consistent coverage for both Council rental and private leaseholder tenants. The procurement process utilised an open procedure, with the award phase completed and the contract set to commence on 1 April 2026, running through to 31 March 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions possible. The contract falls under the services category, specifically insurance services, with its total value at approximately £2,220,010. Sheffield City Council has awarded the contract to ARTHUR J. GALLAGHER (UK) LIMITED, demonstrating strong collaborative ties to support the local community in Sheffield, UKE32.

This contract provides growth opportunities primarily for large insurance providers, given the scale and scope of the services required. Companies that can offer comprehensive insurance packages and manage risks across multiple dwelling types will find this contract rewarding. The involvement of ARTHUR J. GALLAGHER (UK) LIMITED, a large-scale firm, underscores the need for businesses that possess significant operational capacity and expertise in public sector contracts. For niche and emerging insurance providers, aligning with partners that offer complementary services could unlock strategic benefits and potential collaborations.

Notice Title

Leaseholder Block Insurance

Notice Description

Sheffield City Council requires property insurance in respect of private dwellings sold on a leasehold basis, the majority of which were under the Right to Buy legislation. The dwellings are flats in blocks and houses where the Council still retain the freehold ownership. The flats and blocks may house Council rental tenants in the same block as the private leaseholder tenants, so insurance needs to be provided on the same basis for all the tenants.
