UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

West Northamptonshire Council procured terrorism insurance services for its property and operational risks. The requirement covers a council-wide terrorism insurance policy, with the policy held through the Lloyd’s Market Association in London. Arthur J. Gallagher (UK) Limited supported the council as technical adviser during the procurement and was also selected as the supplier. The service is classified as insurance services (CPV 66510000) and is delivered for West Northamptonshire Council in Northamptonshire. This is a specialist financial and risk-management service rather than general insurance administration, so it is most relevant to insurance brokers, terrorism-risk specialists, insurers and organisations able to arrange or place public-sector terrorism cover.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Arthur J. Gallagher (UK) Limited under a single lot. It used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 1 April 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £99,940 excluding VAT, or £111,933 including VAT. The selected supplier is an active award recipient, and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route for terrorism insurance services. This outcome indicates a defined annual insurance placement rather than a large works or multi-service framework, with the council purchasing cover for the 2026/27 renewal period.

This procurement demonstrates demand from West Northamptonshire Council for a specialist terrorism insurance placement supported by expert brokerage and technical advice. A credible future competitor would need to understand public-sector property and operational risks, develop suitable terrorism cover, and manage placement with an appropriate insurance market. Experience coordinating insurers, brokers and public authorities would be relevant, as would the ability to provide clear policy advice and renewal support. The awarded supplier is a large insurance business that acted both as technical adviser and service provider, indicating that the buyer valued a supplier able to combine market access with specialist risk expertise. Firms with comparable insurance broking capability and public-sector experience would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
