UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of insurance cover and related services to Mid Ulster District Council has reached its award stage, with contracts awarded on 26th February 2026 for various types of insurance services. Mid Ulster District Council, located in Cookstown, Northern Ireland, has appointed Arthur J Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited to manage the process as the insurance broker and adviser. The procurement was conducted via an open procedure, covering liability, commercial combined, and motor fleet insurance, all applicable under Northern Irish devolved regulations. The awarded contracts are scheduled to commence on 1st April 2026 and run through 31st March 2027, with potential extension up to 2029. The tender prioritised services as the main procurement category, encompassing delivery to the United Kingdom.

This tender process presents substantial opportunities for large-scale insurance providers, as demonstrated by the successful bids from Zurich Insurance Company Ltd and Protector Insurance. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) did not feature in the final awards, larger companies with expertise in liability, property, and motor vehicle insurance are well-suited to engage due to their capacity for handling high-value contracts. The ability to offer long-term agreements and demonstrate qualitative advantages such as claims handling and value-added services would bolster competitiveness. The total procurement value across all lots, approximately £1,080,000, underscores the potential for substantial business growth in the insurance industry within the UK regions.
