Summary of the contracting process

Crawley Borough Council has updated the award phase of its procurement process for insurance services, as noted in the Modification Notice for the Further Competition for Insurance Placement DPS 978. This process was initiated to adjust the current contract for property, liability, crime, motor fleet, and personal accident insurance, extending its duration due to unanticipated circumstances related to Local Government Reorganisation. Initially awarded on 31 March 2020, and intended to last 60 months, the contract's new expiry date has been shifted twice, first to March 2026 and now further extended to March 2028. Located in Crawley, UKJ28, this tender falls within the services category and represents a significant opportunity, particularly for providers of insurance solutions, like Zurich Management Services Limited, the active supplier.

The extension of Crawley Borough Council’s insurance contract presents strategic growth opportunities for businesses specialising in insurance services. The need for modification due to unforeseen local government changes opens up potential partnerships and continuous service provision, maintaining existing insurance cover terms for an extended period. With a contract valued over £10 million, insurance firms that can offer comprehensive and competitive solutions will find this tender a lucrative prospect. Large established insurers, particularly those capable of navigating complex public sector requirements, are particularly well-suited to derive benefits from this extended procurement initiative by further solidifying their market presence in the UK public sector.

Modification Notice 02 - Crawley Council Further Competition for Insurance Placement DPS 978

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

Crawley Borough Council's further competition for property, liability including liability claims handling, crime, motor fleet and group personal accident and travel insurance was awarded on 31/03/2020 via YPO's Insurance Placement DPS - 978. The contract had a maximum duration period of 60 months. In 2025 the Council modified this contract to extend it by 12 months as reported in Modification Notice 2025/S 000-012611. An extraordinary modification has been required to extend the contract for an additional 24 months due to the Council losing the ability to proceed with an intended transfer to a different insurance scheme because of Local Government Reorganisation (LGR).
