Summary of the contracting process

Buckingham Town Council seeks to procure a Comprehensive Town Council Insurance Policy through an open competition. The procurement process is currently at the tender stage, with key deadlines approaching: the enquiry period ends on 30th January 2026, and the tender period concludes on 13th February 2026. Located in Buckingham, United Kingdom, the Council acts as the buying organisation and requires coverage across several regions, including UKC, UKD, and more. The contract is valued at GBP 70,000 for a 3-year term, starting 1st April 2026, with provisions for additions and amendments during the term. The procurement focuses on services within the insurance industry, underpinned by legal and regulatory compliance as prescribed by the Procurement Act 2023.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the insurance and risk management sectors, particularly those with experience serving local government entities. With an emphasis on cost-effectiveness, comprehensive coverage, customer service, claims handling, and local authority experience, businesses that specialise in accident, legal expenses, motor vehicle, and liability insurance services are well-suited to compete. Companies providing advanced cyber-crime and terrorism coverage offerings would also find competitive advantage in this opportunity to secure a notable governmental contract.
