UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Sheffield sought insurance services for its activities in Sheffield. The requirement falls within the services category and covers one procurement lot. The opportunity was intended to provide insurance arrangements for the university, with the procurement title referring to preliminary market engagement. Suppliers would need to operate in the insurance services market and be able to respond to a public-sector organisation’s requirements. The contracting authority is The University of Sheffield, based at Western Bank in Sheffield. The work is therefore relevant to insurers, insurance brokers and other providers that can arrange or deliver insurance services for a higher education institution. The procurement was presented as a single service requirement rather than a programme of separate goods, works or specialist service packages.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an online eSourcing portal. It was then withdrawn, and the associated award record was cancelled because it was published in error. The procurement had an estimated gross value of £250,000, in GBP, and the planned contract period was 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2028. A scheduled supplier engagement milestone had a due date of 27 August 2026 at 23:59. The tender covered one lot. The buyer’s stated tender title was “Insurance PME”, and the tender classification was insurance services. The procurement was below the relevant threshold. The withdrawal means suppliers should treat this particular tender as cancelled rather than as an opportunity to submit an offer.

This procurement suits established insurance-sector suppliers able to assess and cover the risks of a large higher education organisation. Relevant businesses include insurers, brokers, managing agents and specialist intermediaries with experience designing or placing public-sector insurance arrangements. Suppliers should be able to understand the operational, property, liability and other risk exposures associated with a university and translate them into appropriate cover and service arrangements. Experience of working with institutional clients, coordinating multiple policy requirements and providing responsive account management would be commercially relevant. The requirement is suited to firms with the technical insurance expertise, market access and administrative capacity to support a university throughout a multi-year arrangement. However, the procurement was withdrawn because it was published in error.
