UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC) in London is in the planning phase of a public procurement process for comprehensive insurance services, under the industry category of insurance services (CPV 66510000). This preliminary market engagement will facilitate the procurement of necessary insurance policies including property, contractors all risks, combined liability, and excess liability. The engagement process will commence with a Request for Information (RFI) from 8 January 2026 to 20 February 2026, using MOPAC's eSourcing system. The aim is to establish long-term agreements before the expiration of existing policies in September 2026. This procurement process is intended to be conducted in lots, with a separate procurement expected for excess liability. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in one-on-one sessions starting in the week of 19 January 2026, held in London.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the insurance sector to expand their market reach by collaborating with a public authority. Companies with expertise in delivering tailored insurance solutions, particularly those adept at managing large-scale public sector contracts, would find this procurement lucrative. The requirement for various insurance covers opens avenues for insurers with capabilities across different domains of property, liability, and risk management. Moreover, engaging early in the preliminary market engagement exercise allows businesses to influence the final tender specifications and develop strategic propositions that align with MOPAC's indicative needs, thus optimising their competitive positioning ahead of the formal procurement phase commencing in March 2026.
