Summary of the contracting process

Newquay Town Council is procuring a comprehensive insurance programme and associated claims handling, contract management and risk management services (CPV 66510000: insurance services). The requirement covers a range of policy classes for the Council’s operations, properties, land and buildings, vehicles, information technology and other recorded assets. The appointed insurer will provide professional claims management, annual claims and risk reviews, claims trend analysis, legislative updates, specialist risk management advice, quarterly claims reporting, a named account manager and annual stewardship meetings. The services will support Newquay Town Council across its United Kingdom activities, with the procurement reserved to suppliers located in the United Kingdom. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement has reached tender: Newquay Town Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot contract, with electronic submission permitted by email. Enquiries had to be submitted by 17 July 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 7 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029, with an optional extension of up to 12 months, allowing a maximum period ending on 31 October 2030. The estimated contract value is £179,000 including tax. The award will be based on the most advantageous tender, using criteria detailed in the procurement documents. The Council has published a clarification log and updated cover schedules.

This opportunity suits insurers able to design and administer a multi-class public-sector insurance programme, manage claims professionally and provide practical risk-management support. Suppliers should be able to undertake annual claims and risk reviews, analyse claims trends, monitor legislative changes, provide quarterly management information and give access to specialist risk advice. A dedicated account manager and structured annual stewardship meetings are required, so bidders should have the people and systems to maintain an ongoing client relationship. Relevant experience in insuring public bodies, property portfolios, land and buildings, vehicles, IT assets and hired vehicles would be valuable. Firms must be able to assess reinstatement valuations, apply appropriate indexation, explain policy variations and clearly state all excesses.
