Summary of the contracting process

Local Space, a sub-central government body based in London, initially issued a tender for insurance services with Arthur J. Gallagher (UK) Limited serving as the procuring entity. The tender aimed to secure a provider for various insurance covers, including property stock, public and employers’ liability, terrorism, excess liability, crime, and directors and officers liability insurance for a potential three-year contract, extendable by two additional years. The procurement process followed a competitive flexible procedure, involving a two-stage process consisting of an invitation to tender and a best & final offer. Despite being active as of January 2026, the tender process was later cancelled in April 2026 due to a reassessment of obligations by the contracting authority.

The tender presented significant business growth opportunities for insurance providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises. With the prospect of a long-term contract worth up to £675,000, businesses with expertise in property, liability, and specialty insurance like terrorism and crime coverage would have been well-positioned to compete. The ability to offer competitive pricing and high-quality services was a crucial factor in the award criteria. Despite its cancellation, similar tenders may be forthcoming, allowing businesses to refine their offerings and readiness for such opportunities.
