Summary of the contracting process

Lancashire County Council has completed a procurement process for the placement of a Combined Liability Insurance Policy for Lancashire Renewables, focusing on waste treatment facilities located at Farington and Thornton. The procurement, initiated in January 2026, utilised an open procedure method, culminating in the award stage by July 2026. The contract, signed on 15th May 2026, encompasses a service period starting from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2028, with potential extensions not exceeding four years total. Key components involve liability insurance services for facilities within the UKD4 region, valued at a gross amount of £600,000. Protector Insurance has been awarded the contract to supply these services, offering coverage for the waste haulage and treatment services associated with Lancashire Renewables.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the insurance sector to engage with a large public authority. Companies with a robust service delivery track record, experience in large-scale insurance coverages, and the ability to comply with stringent insurance policy requirements are well-suited for such opportunities. The open procurement method favours competitive and transparent bidding, encouraging both large insurers and potential challengers looking to expand their public sector portfolios to participate. As the process allows for extensions, successful service delivery could lead to long-term engagements, offering financial growth and a stable business opportunity within the public sector for insurance providers.
