Summary of the contracting process

Housing 21 procured tenants’ contents insurance services through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework. The requirement is a simple contents insurance scheme for Housing 21 tenants, with insurance services delivered across the United Kingdom. Housing 21 is the buying organisation and the service supports its housing operations and tenants. The appointed provider is Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company, an insurance company based in Gloucester. This is a single-service requirement rather than a multi-category procurement, covering one lot for the insurance scheme. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are insurers or insurance-sector providers able to deliver tenants’ contents cover for a housing provider through the applicable framework arrangement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company. The award was made on 23 July 2026 under a selective procedure, using a below-threshold award under the Northern Housing Consortium framework. The call-off was non-competitive. The awarded and contracted value is £108,136.16, including gross value as reported. The contract was signed on 23 July 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with renewal available for three additional 12-month periods, giving a maximum extent to 30 September 2030. The procurement has one completed lot. It is a services contract and the award was below the relevant threshold.

This outcome shows that Housing 21 has demand for a structured tenants’ contents insurance scheme rather than a general insurance purchase. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to be an established insurance provider with the underwriting, policy administration and claims-handling capability to support tenants of a housing organisation across the United Kingdom. Experience in simple contents insurance schemes, social housing or similar tenant-focused products would be directly relevant. Suppliers would also need to understand how to operate through the Northern Housing Consortium’s framework route, since this award was made under that framework rather than through an open standalone competition. The buyer’s choice of a large specialist insurer indicates the need for organisational capacity and dependable service delivery.
