UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bolton at Home Limited, a public authority and sub-central government entity located in Bolton, United Kingdom, has recently carried out a procurement activity for "Insurance Brokerage and Insurance Services." Initially, a tender was initiated and subsequently withdrawn as of 25th March 2026, with plans to re-conduct the procurement in 2027. At the planning stage, the organisation sought to engage the market to assess interest levels and gather information beneficial for the tendering process. Interested parties were invited to submit expressions of interest via The Chest portal by 2nd March 2026. The procurement process will pertain to the services industry category, specifically insurance services (CPV code 66510000), with a contract period planned from July 2026 to June 2031, including renewal options.

This tender creates promising opportunities for businesses within the insurance brokerage sector, particularly those that specialise in managing complex insurance portfolios and tendering for comprehensive insurance cover. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, given their suitability for the contract. As Bolton at Home Limited looks to gather preliminary market engagement and potentially initiate procurement activities early in 2027, businesses focusing on insurance services can position themselves strategically by engaging in pre-market consultations, understanding the specific needs outlined by Bolton at Home, and preparing to participate in future procurement processes. This interaction not only facilitates business growth but also strengthens relationships within the sub-central government procurement realm.
