UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited procured private medical insurance for its employees as part of its employee benefits package. The chosen provider is expected to deliver an accessible, cost-effective scheme for eligible employees, support staff wellbeing and provide robust account management. The requirement is for corporate health insurance services (CPV 66512200), covering employees across England. The scheme involves moving existing members into the new policy while maintaining continuity of cover, including for members who are making a claim, waiting for treatment or receiving treatment. Orbit was supported in the procurement by Employee Benefits Collective LLP.

The procurement is complete and an award has been made to Aviva Health UK Limited. The award is pending, with a standstill period ending 20 October 2026 and contract signature scheduled by 28 October 2026. The award date was 6 October 2026. The awarded value is £250,000 excluding VAT (£300,000 including VAT). The policy period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with possible annual extensions up to 30 November 2029, subject to both parties’ agreement, satisfactory performance and review of pricing for value for money. The open procedure used an accelerated timetable. Price and quality each carried 50% of the evaluation weighting. The single lot attracted two final-stage bids.

The award shows demand for a UK corporate private medical insurance scheme serving employees across England, with a requirement to deliver accessible cover and dependable account management. A credible competitor would need the regulatory permissions and authorisations to provide, arrange or administer the proposed insurance, including FCA authorisation where applicable, and recent, relevant experience running corporate PMI schemes in the UK. Suppliers must also demonstrate strong data protection, information security and confidentiality controls for employee and special-category health data, with secure transfer arrangements such as SFTP or an equivalent. The key delivery capability is migrating existing members without re-underwriting, preserving their underwriting status and continuity of cover, including for people mid-claim or awaiting or undergoing treatment. The buyer marked the requirement as suitable for SMEs.
