Summary of the contracting process

Prospect Community Housing procured insurance and related services for its non-life risks, including property, legal liability, motor fleet, cyber, engineering, terrorism, directors’ and officers’, professional indemnity and crime cover. The requirement also includes brokerage where applicable, professional advice, claims management and loss-control services, with alternative risk-financing services included as a separate requirement. The work supports Prospect Community Housing’s housing and community operations in Edinburgh. The procurement is for insurance brokers and direct insurers able to provide cover or arrange suitable risk-carrier solutions. The main category is insurance services (CPV 66510000), with related financial, accident, legal and all-risk insurance services. The buyer is Prospect Community Housing.

The procurement has been awarded following a two-stage competitive procedure with negotiation, with up to four candidates invited to the second stage. Eight awards were made and contracts were signed on 16 September 2026. Marsh Ltd received the property, motor fleet, engineering, cyber, directors’ and officers’, professional indemnity and crime awards. Jensten Insurance Brokers (London & SE) Limited received the terrorism, non-pool re award. Contract values are respectively £317,990, £9,090, £14,640, £5,530, £5,400, £4,690 and £20,160 for Marsh’s awards, and £9,840 for Jensten’s award. Each contract starts on 1 October 2026 for three years, with an option to extend by up to two further years. Evaluation was 50% quality and 50% price. Eight bids were received across the lots, with three or four per lot.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from a community housing provider for a broad insurance programme rather than a single policy line. A credible future competitor would need to be an insurance broker registered with, or an insurer authorised and regulated by, the UK Financial Conduct Authority for the relevant services. The buyer required financial strength, appropriate insurance limits, risk-carrier financial ratings, sound governance and evidence of turnover and accounts. Relevant experience with organisations of a similar profile was important, including client satisfaction on at least three similar contracts. Delivery capability requires a skilled team covering client relationship management, technical insurance, broking or underwriting, claims and risk management. Professional development aligned with the CII or an equivalent body, service-quality commitments and the ability to offer social landlords a choice of insurers or options would also strengthen a competitor’s position.
