Summary of the contracting process

Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council procured specialist insurance services for Coed Ely Solar Farm. The requirement covers insurance for the solar farm and is classified as insurance services. The work relates to the Coed Ely Solar Farm in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. This is a public-sector risk and insurance requirement connected to the operation of a renewable-energy generation asset. The procurement was bought by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council, a sub-central public authority. The named service provider is Marsh Ltd. The requirement was organised as a single lot and concerns services rather than goods or construction works. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are therefore insurance brokers, insurers or specialist risk advisers with experience of arranging or managing cover for solar farms and comparable energy infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded, with an active contract in place. Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 12 December 2025 and runs from 13 December 2025 to 31 March 2027. Marsh Ltd was awarded the single lot. The contract value is £26,350.86 excluding VAT and £32,938.57 including VAT. The award covers insurance services for Coed Ely Solar Farm. The procurement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the published data does not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria. The contract is below the applicable threshold and is being delivered under the relevant Welsh devolved public procurement framework.

This award demonstrates a public buyer’s requirement for specialist insurance support for a solar farm, giving relevant competitors a clear view of the type of renewable-energy risk work involved. A credible future supplier would need practical expertise in arranging or administering insurance for operational solar-generation assets, understanding property, liability, business interruption and other risks associated with energy infrastructure where these form part of the buyer’s requirements. Experience working with public-sector clients would also help, including clear advice, compliant procurement engagement and reliable policy and claims support. The selected supplier is a large insurance and risk advisory business, so competitors should be able to demonstrate comparable technical capability, market access, capacity to manage the account and experience handling a complete specialist insurance requirement for a local-authority-owned or managed asset.
