Summary of the contracting process

Paradigm Housing Group Limited, trading as SettleParadigm, procured insurance and related services for its motor fleet risks. The requirement covers motor vehicle insurance, motor vehicle liability and other liability insurance, together with insurance risk management. The appointed provider is expected to support the housing group and its clients through suitable insurers and cover options, claims management, broking or underwriting, client relationship management and insurable risk management. Service quality also extends to any third-party contractors used by the provider or its insurers. The work covers the United Kingdom. The procurement is a services opportunity and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Gibbs Laidler Consulting LLP managed the procurement for SettleParadigm.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It used a selective competitive flexible procedure, with a multi-stage process involving conditions of participation and three tendering stages with shortlisting. Six bids reached the final stage. Zurich Municipal was awarded the contract on 1 September 2026 for £660,000 including gross value, against a total estimated procurement value of £840,000 including gross value. The contract period is 17 September 2026 to 16 September 2030. One lot covered the full requirement. Evaluation weighted cost at 60% and quality at 40%. The award period ended on 27 August 2026, and the expression of interest and enquiry deadline was 29 June 2026. The award is active, with signature scheduled by 16 September 2026.

This procurement demonstrates established demand from SettleParadigm for motor fleet insurance combined with claims, broking, underwriting and risk management capability. Competitors preparing for a future requirement would need to offer credible access to a range of suitable insurers and cover options, supported by a skilled service team covering client relationship management, claims handling and insurable risk management. Strong service governance would be important where third-party contractors or insurer partners are involved, because SettleParadigm assesses the quality of those services as part of the overall offer. Financial capacity to deliver the insurance programme is essential. Insurers or proposed insurer partners would normally need a minimum A- credit rating from Standard & Poor’s or AM Best, or an equivalent rating accepted through the buyer’s approval process.
