Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd sought professional insurance brokerage and agency services for its operations. The appointed broker would act as the organisation’s contracted agent, provide expert advice on the insurance market, procure and place annual insurance policies, and manage insurance claims on CMAL’s behalf. This is a specialist insurance services requirement, classified under CPV 66518000. The buyer is a Scottish maritime asset owner and utility based in Port Glasgow. The work therefore suits insurance brokers with experience advising infrastructure, transport, harbour or other asset-owning organisations, and with the capability to manage a broad range of policies and claims as an ongoing service.

The procurement was cancelled and the award outcome is recorded as unsuccessful and discontinued. It used an open procedure under the open procurement method. The tender deadline was amended to 22 April 2026 at noon, with tenders opened at that time in Port Glasgow; the cancellation was recorded on 27 July 2026. The single lot covered a 1,440-day contract, with an option for CMAL to extend it by up to four one-year periods. Evaluation allocated 40% to price and 60% to quality, covering transition, contract management, team structure and responsibilities, specialist experience, methodology and process, innovation, and lessons learned. Staff names and qualifications were required, and variants were allowed.

Although this procurement was discontinued, it demonstrates a recurring requirement for a specialist broker to support a Scottish maritime asset owner. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable experience in insurance brokerage, policy procurement and placement, market advice, and end-to-end claims handling. The evaluation also shows that CMAL values a clear transition plan, robust contract-management arrangements, defined team roles, specialist experience, practical methodology and process, innovation, and evidence of lessons learned. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide appropriately qualified named staff and show how they would manage the relationship and the full insurance cycle, rather than offering only policy placement or claims support in isolation.
