Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited, a sub-central government public authority located in Coventry, UK, is planning a tender for Private Medical Insurance services intended for its employees. The industry category for this procurement is health insurance services, with delivery across multiple regions in the United Kingdom including UKC, UKD, and others. This process is currently at the planning stage, with intentions to publicly announce the tender opportunity in August. The open procurement method will be employed, and interested suppliers will need to submit proposals electronically by 4th September 2026. The contract is expected to commence on 1st December 2026 and may extend until 30th November 2029 if mutually agreed.
