UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Connexus Homes Limited is procuring insurance and risk-related services for its housing operations across the United Kingdom. The requirement covers insurance cover, brokerage where applicable, professional advice, claims management and loss-control services. Nine areas are included: property, legal liability and other general risks; motor fleet; cyber risk; terrorism and political violence through Pool Re; terrorism and political violence outside Pool Re; directors’ and officers’ cover; professional indemnity; fidelity and crime risks; and alternative risk financing. The opportunity is therefore relevant to insurance brokers, direct insurers, risk carriers and specialist providers able to support housing-sector insurance programmes. Gibbs Laidler Consulting LLP is managing the procurement on behalf of Connexus Homes Limited.

The process has reached tender: Connexus invited offers using a competitive flexible procedure, with bidder selection based on completed pre-qualification questionnaires. Expressions of interest are due by 21 August 2026 at 00:00, and enquiries close on 20 August 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned for 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2030, with an extension option to 31 March 2032. Its estimated value is £17,400,000. The nine lots have stated values of £16,100,000, £600,000, £300,000, £100,000, £0, £100,000, £100,000, £100,000 and £0 respectively. Up to eight lots may be awarded to one supplier. The award decision is due by 22 January 2027 and will use the most economically advantageous tender, with detailed criteria in the tender documents.

This opportunity suits suitably qualified and experienced insurance brokers and direct insurers, including suppliers able to provide or arrange specialist risk-carrier capacity. Applicants need the capability, capacity, financial and economic standing, and relevant experience to perform the required services. The pre-qualification questionnaire must be completed in full with all relevant information. Each lot uses the same stated evaluation balance: quality carries 65% and price 35%, so service capability and technical quality are more heavily weighted than cost. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and suppliers can target individual insurance disciplines rather than the entire programme. Relevant expertise may include property, motor fleet, cyber, terrorism, liability, professional indemnity, crime, executive protection or alternative risk-financing services.
