Summary of the contracting process

The Corporate Officer of the House of Commons is planning a procurement process, titled "GSV4157 - Provision of Insurance Brokerage," which falls under the services industry category, specifically focused on insurance services. This national procurement process, with delivery locations across the United Kingdom, is currently in the planning stage, with the procurement method being an open procedure. The key dates include an enquiry period ending on 14th October 2026, a tender period closing on 23rd October 2026, and an expected award period completion by 4th December 2026. The intended contracts, covering various insurance policies for Members of Parliament, are set to commence on 11th January 2027 and may extend until 2032 if renewal options are exercised.

This tender offers significant opportunities for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), as the suitability criteria mention their potential involvement. The procurement process seeks brokers who can manage policies such as liability, professional indemnity, and personal accident insurance, among others. Businesses with expertise in insurance brokerage or services, particularly those familiar with public sector operations, would be well-suited to participate. The open procurement process invites a competitive landscape where quality and social value are significant evaluation criteria, offering potential growth pathways for businesses looking to expand their portfolio with government contracts.
