UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Onward Homes Limited appointed Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company to provide a Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme. This is an insurance service for tenants, covering the requirements of Onward Homes’ housing portfolio through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework. The service is delivered across the United Kingdom. Onward Homes is the buying organisation and the requirement falls within the services category, specifically insurance services. The arrangement concerns one completed lot and is focused on providing tenants’ contents insurance rather than property construction, maintenance or general insurance brokerage. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are insurers or specialist insurance providers able to support a tenants’ contents scheme for a housing provider at national scale.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Onward Homes used a selective, below-threshold award under an existing framework; the award was non-competitive. Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company was appointed on 10 July 2026 for £59,220.72 including gross value, in GBP. The contract was signed on 10 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with three individual 12-month renewal periods available and a maximum extent to 31 August 2030. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement has one completed lot. The published information identifies the framework route and appointment outcome as the basis of the process, rather than a separate open-market competition or stated scoring breakdown.

This outcome indicates established demand from Onward Homes for a dedicated tenants’ contents insurance scheme delivered through a housing-sector framework. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be regulated or suitably qualified insurance businesses with experience designing and administering contents insurance for social housing tenants, supporting clear tenant communications and managing policies across a sizeable housing portfolio. Credibility would also come from proven operational capacity, reliable claims handling, appropriate customer service and the ability to work within framework terms and public-sector governance requirements. Experience of working with housing associations and sector purchasing consortia would be relevant, particularly where the service must operate consistently across the United Kingdom and accommodate a recurring, renewable arrangement.
