Summary of the contracting process

The project is valued at £12,000,000, with an initial gross amount of £13,350,000. The purchasing body is Yorkshire Housing Limited, based in Leeds, UK. The procurement is in the planning stage, with a milestone date for pre-market engagement set for 21st and 24th August 2026. The intended start date for the related contract is 1st April 2027, ending on 31st March 2030. The industry category is insurance services, under CPV code 66510000, and the procurement is set to occur above the typical threshold for the services category.

The engagement seeks input from insurers and brokers, fostering a competitive environment for both major insurers and SMEs poised to cater to public authority needs. The pre-market engagement phase is a pivotal chance for interested parties to actively shape future procurement requirements and demonstrate market capability in alignment with the strategic goals of Yorkshire Housing Limited. Participation, although voluntary, could be beneficial for firms aiming to establish or strengthen their presence in the public sector insurance market.

Planning Information

Yorkshire Housing Group ("YHG") is considering the procurement of its Insurance Programme, anticipated contract start date being 1st April 2027. In advance of any formal procurement process, and in accordance with Section 17 (Preliminary Market Engagement) of the Procurement Act 2023, Yorkshire Housing intends to undertake a period of pre‐market engagement. The purpose of this engagement is to share early, high‐level thinking in relation to the proposed insurance tender and to seek feedback on how these initial ideas may be perceived by the insurance market, including considerations around market appetite, structure and deliverability. Given current market dynamics, Yorkshire Housing is keen to engage with prospective insurers, as well as brokers, to ensure that discussions are conducted in a fair, transparent and proportionate manner and without conferring any unfair competitive advantage, in line with the principles of the Procurement Act 2023. As a result, we may reach out to insurers directly where we believe there are no exclusive agreements in place with brokers. Those insurers and all other interested brokers and providers will then be invited by YHG to participate in a pre‐market engagement meeting. Friday 21st August at 10.00am YHG will present an overview of the business, strategic plans for the next 3-5 years, risk appetite and existing strategy. There will then follow the opportunity for questions during the allocated time (expected to be 30 mins including the presentation) If, however, a further separate meeting is required for interested parties, YHG have also reserved 21st August and 24th August when individual meetings can take place. YHG would then further assess market capacity and appetite for the Business and any specific requirements that potential Bidders might have and which needs to be factored into the Tender process or the specification in due course. Any meetings held during pre-engagement are not scored and do not form part of any competitive process that Yorkshire Housing decides to instigate following pre-engagement. Please note that participation in this pre‐market engagement is entirely voluntary. It will not form part of any evaluation process, nor will it confer any advantage or disadvantage in any future procurement exercise. Yorkshire Housing also anticipates that there will be further engagement opportunities throughout the course of the eventual tender. We would be grateful if you could respond at your earliest convenience with your nominated insurers. Should you have any questions regarding the process or its alignment with procurement requirements, please do not hesitate to contact us. Any pre-engagement meetings will be held online via Microsoft Teams
