Summary of the contracting process

Aster Group Limited is procuring insurance broker and risk-related services for itself and its subsidiary organisations across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers general insurance and advice, claims handling, loss control, programme maintenance and related support. The insurance scope is divided across property, legal liability and other general non-life risks; terrorism and political violence; cyber risk; professional indemnity; crime and fidelity; and contract works. This is a financial and insurance services requirement, including property, liability, general liability and professional liability insurance services. The buyer is a public authority based in Devizes. The services support Aster Group’s wider organisational and risk-management needs rather than a single site or project, with delivery addresses recorded as United Kingdom-wide.

The procurement is complete and has reached the award stage following a two-stage competitive flexible procedure using a selective method. Awards were made on 10 July 2026. Willis Limited was selected for Lot One, covering general property, liability and other non-life risks, at £9,497,898.35 gross, and Lot Seven, covering contract works, at £328,732.20 gross. Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited was selected for Lot Four, cyber risk, at £408,532.15 gross; Lot Five, professional indemnity, at £298,696.25 gross; and Lot Six, crime and fidelity, at £201,808.95 gross. Jensten Insurance Brokers (London & SE) Limited was selected for Lot Three, terrorism and political violence, at £226,071.60 gross. Each awarded period runs from 31 July 2026 to 30 July 2029, with an option to extend by up to two years. Evaluation was 50% technical quality and 50% price. Lots Two and Eight have no recorded supplier award.

This opportunity demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from a housing and public-service organisation for specialist insurance broking across multiple risk classes. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need credible expertise in property and liability programmes, contract works, cyber risk, professional indemnity, crime and fidelity, and terrorism or political violence cover. The awarded structure shows that capability can be demonstrated through focused specialisms as well as broad insurance programme management. Strong bidders would also need to provide claims handling, loss control, programme maintenance and practical risk advice for a group with subsidiary organisations. The competition attracted established large insurance brokers, and the recorded outcome indicates that technical service capability and price carried equal importance. Experience managing complex, multi-risk portfolios and relationships with suitable risk carriers would strengthen a competing offer.
