The tender process, currently active, allows submissions until 10th April 2026, following the enquiry period ending on 27th March 2026.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Provision of Insurance Broking Services

Notice Description

This tender seeks the provision of insurance broking services to the University of Exeter, Falmouth University and Falmouth Exeter Plus ("the three institutions"). The contract will be awarded to a single broker capable of servicing all three organisations. Although the institutions work closely together--particularly across the shared Penryn campus--each is distinct in size, structure and operational focus. Bidders must therefore demonstrate a flexible service model that recognises this close partnership while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and discretion between the institutions. Two separate accounts will be established, and bidders are required to submit two pricing schedules: one covering the University of Exeter and Falmouth Exeter Plus, and one for Falmouth University. Examples of the collaborative relationship include cross-attendance at pre-renewal meetings where appropriate.
