UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Sutton, in conjunction with the London Borough of Merton and the Royal Borough of Kingston, is in the planning stage of a joint procurement process for Liability Insurance services covering the period from 2027 to 2032. As the lead authority, the London Borough of Sutton is overseeing this exercise aimed at securing a contractor for a five-year term. The procurement falls under the financial and insurance services category, and is set above the threshold, with a total estimated value of £6,800,000. A pre-market engagement event is scheduled for 25 September 2026 at the Aon insurance brokers' office in London, where potential insurers can gain insights and participate in one-to-one meetings. Interested parties should note that a full tender notice is anticipated to be communicated around 2 October 2026.

This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for growth, especially for businesses within the financial and insurance services sector equipped to handle liability insurance. Companies with a strong track record of providing comprehensive insurance services could benefit substantially from participating in this tender. The engagement event facilitates preliminary discussions that can serve to clarify expectations and align capabilities, allowing businesses to strategically position themselves ahead of the official tendering process. This opportunity is well-suited to established insurance providers with experience in large-scale, multi-authority contracts, looking to expand their portfolio within the public sector.
