UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Orbit Group Limited is procuring private medical insurance for its employees as part of its employee benefits package. The appointed insurer or provider will be expected to deliver an accessible, cost-effective scheme that supports employee wellbeing, provides value for money and includes robust account management. The requirement is for health insurance services (CPV 66512200), covering eligible employees across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. Orbit is supported in the procurement by the Employee Benefit Collective. This is a single service requirement rather than a multi-lot programme, and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The process has reached tender: Orbit invited offers through an accelerated open procedure. Questions had to be submitted by 23:59 on 16 September 2026, and electronic tenders were due by 10:00 on 22 September 2026 through the Proactis ProContract portal. The intended award decision date was 9 October 2026. The initial contract period runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with annual break points and potential 12-month renewals up to 30 November 2029, subject to satisfactory performance, pricing review and agreement by both parties. The estimated gross value is £2,172,000. Offers are evaluated equally on quality and price, each weighted at 50%.

This opportunity suits insurers, brokers or specialist employee-benefits providers with the regulatory permissions, authorisations or status needed to provide, arrange or administer private medical insurance, including Financial Conduct Authority authorisation where applicable. Bidders need recent, relevant experience delivering corporate PMI schemes in the UK and the operational capacity to manage an employee scheme across England. They must demonstrate strong data protection, information security and confidentiality controls for employee and special-category health data, including secure transfer arrangements such as SFTP or an equivalent. A key capability is migrating existing members without re-underwriting, while preserving underwriting status and continuity of cover for members who are mid-claim, awaiting treatment or already undergoing treatment.
