Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is procuring comprehensive insurance brokerage services for the British Embassies in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. The service covers medical insurance for embassy staff and their dependants, life and disability insurance for staff, third-party insurance for embassy-hosted events, and public liability insurance. Public liability cover is intended to address third-party property damage or bodily injury arising from embassy business activities at specified premises. This is an insurance brokerage and agency services requirement, with delivery across the United Arab Emirates. The work supports the embassies’ ongoing insurance arrangements and is a re-procurement of existing brokerage services. Suppliers should therefore be able to coordinate several classes of commercial and employee-related insurance for diplomatic and event operations.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure. Questions could be submitted until 31 July 2026 at 23:59 UK time, and bids were due by 17 August 2026 at 23:59 UK time. The contract is planned to run from 23 September 2026 to 22 September 2027, with two possible annual extensions, giving a maximum end date of 22 September 2029. The estimated value is £2,457,816.18 including and excluding tax as reported. There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 70% technical quality and 30% commercial price. Bids may be submitted electronically in English through the FCDO Jaggaer e-procurement portal, using ITT 7864. The anticipated award decision date is 23 September 2026.

This opportunity suits established insurance brokers and agencies with the capability to design, place and manage a broad portfolio of cover for an international public-sector client. Relevant expertise includes medical schemes for employees and dependants, life and disability policies, third-party event cover, and public liability protection for property damage or bodily injury. Suppliers should be able to coordinate insurers, policy administration, claims handling and ongoing advice across embassy operations in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Experience of servicing organisations with staff, dependants, official premises and hosted events would be directly relevant. The requirement is likely to favour providers able to manage multiple policy classes consistently, communicate clearly with a central government buyer, and deliver dependable support across the United Arab Emirates.
