Summary of the contracting process

The Construction Industry Training Board Northern Ireland (CITB NI), a central government public authority, has completed a procurement process to appoint an insurance service provider. The procurement, conducted through an open procedure, was managed without prior market engagement, leveraging the mature insurance market in Northern Ireland and the wider UK. Key aspects of the contract, valued at £180,000, include comprehensive insurance services such as professional indemnity, management liability, and cyber security, among others. Marsh Limited was successfully awarded the contract set to commence on 1st April 2026 with a possible extension until 31st March 2029. The award was finalised on 11th March 2026, with services to be delivered primarily in Northern Ireland.

This procurement presents growth opportunities for businesses specialising in insurance services, particularly those adept in brokerage and claims handling within the public sector. The focus on multi-faceted insurance coverage promises enhanced business continuity, potentially appealing to large-scale enterprises and experienced insurance providers. As Marsh Limited has previously demonstrated proficiency in such services, other similar businesses without a significant presence in Northern Ireland might consider this sector for future tender opportunities, especially given the prominence of public contracts in this region.
