Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive has concluded a procurement process for the "P1188 - Provision of a Claims Handling Service" targeted towards organisations in the insurance industry, specifically focusing on public liability claims handling and evaluation services. The process has transitioned through various stages, ultimately reaching the award stage on 16th June 2026, with Carson McDowell LLP being awarded the contract. This procurement, conducted under Northern Irish devolved regulations, involves a selective 'competitive flexible procedure'. The service will be delivered in Belfast, United Kingdom, commencing on 6th July 2026 and is set for completion by 5th July 2029, with the possibility of extension for up to 24 months beyond the initial contract period. The contract has a gross value of £156,000 and aligns with the industry classification for insurance services and claims adjustment services.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in insurance claims, especially those capable of providing high-quality, cost-effective solutions. With a substantial contract value and an extension possibility, it promises stable growth prospects for the selected supplier. While this specific contract was awarded to a large firm, similar opportunities could be beneficial for SMEs looking to expand their reach within the public sector, particularly if they demonstrate expertise in handling complex claims and delivering comprehensive management information reports. Businesses looking to compete in future tenders in this category should focus on enhancing service quality and maintaining competitive pricing to increase their likelihood of success.
