UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Sutton is buying liability insurance for itself, the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and the London Borough of Merton. The requirement is divided into three lots, one for each council, covering their respective liability insurance needs. The stated arrangement requires bidders to apply for all three lots, with one contract covering the full requirement. This is a financial and insurance services procurement (CPV 66000000), with delivery in Sutton, Kingston upon Thames and Merton. Sutton is managing the procurement on behalf of the three authorities.

The process has reached tender: the councils invited offers through an open procedure. Bids must cover all three lots and will be evaluated on price (60%) and quality (40%); further evaluation weightings are set out in the tender pack. The total estimated value is £6,880,000: £2,240,000 for Sutton, £2,625,000 for Kingston and £2,015,000 for Merton. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with up to two one-year renewals by mutual agreement and subject to satisfactory performance, extending at most to 31 March 2032. Enquiries were due by 30 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC and bids by 27 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The award decision was due by 15 March 2027.

This opportunity is suited to insurers able to provide liability cover for three London borough councils under a single contract. Small and medium-sized businesses are identified as suitable for each lot, although bidding for all three is required, so suppliers need the capacity to serve all three authorities rather than a single council alone. The evaluation gives greater weight to price than quality, while still allocating a substantial share to quality. The contract includes the possibility of two annual renewals, dependent on mutual agreement and satisfactory supplier performance, so bidders should be able to sustain service delivery over an extended relationship. The tender information does not state particular insurance accreditations, minimum financial thresholds or experience requirements.
