Summary of the contracting process

Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management procured business insurance brokerage services, including insurance brokerage and liability insurance services. The requirement covers arranging and supporting business insurance rather than supplying physical goods or carrying out construction works. The named buyer is Northumbria Healthcare Facilities Management, based at Northumbria House, Cobalt Business Park, North Shields. Delivery is associated with the North East of England. The procurement was classified as a service requirement and included one lot. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The appointed supplier, Lockton Companies LLP, is an insurance brokerage business, indicating that the requirement is aimed at firms able to advise on, arrange and manage business and liability insurance for a healthcare facilities management organisation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct award, using a waiver with urgency identified as the rationale. Lockton Companies LLP was selected. The award dated 30 December 2025 has a stated value of £221,722.88 excluding VAT and £246,655.63 including VAT, with an award period from 1 January to 31 December 2026. A separate active award record for the same lot names Lockton and is linked to the signed contract. That contract was signed on 20 December 2025, runs from 21 December 2025 to 20 December 2026, and is valued at £246,655.63 excluding VAT and £295,986.75 including VAT. The procurement was above the relevant threshold.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from a healthcare facilities management organisation for specialist business insurance brokerage, including liability insurance. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the ability to understand organisational and operational risks, advise on appropriate insurance arrangements, place cover with insurers and manage the brokerage relationship throughout the service period. Experience handling business insurance programmes and liability risks would be directly relevant, particularly where the client operates in a healthcare-related environment and needs dependable risk advice and administration. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so smaller specialist brokerages may be well placed if they can demonstrate sufficient service capacity, insurance-market access and continuity of support. Firms should also be able to respond effectively to a direct-award or waiver-led commercial route where urgency is a factor.
