UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The National Audit Office procured Group Life Insurance cover for its employees. This is an insurance services requirement, covering employee life insurance under an interim arrangement. The purpose is to maintain continuity of cover while the National Audit Office completes a procurement for a longer-term solution. The service is delivered across the United Kingdom. The requirement is relevant to insurers and employee-benefits providers able to arrange and administer group life assurance for a UK public-sector workforce. It concerns an organisation-wide employee protection service rather than a general insurance brokerage requirement, so suppliers should be able to support the policy terms, administration and continuity arrangements associated with employer-sponsored life cover.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. The National Audit Office used a single tender action, awarding the contract directly without competition under a below-threshold procedure. AVIVA HEALTH UK LIMITED was selected for the single lot. The contract was signed on 30 June 2026 and runs from 23 July 2026 to 22 July 2027. Its value is £55,400 gross, in GBP, representing the annual premium. The contract is active. It is an interim arrangement and may end before the stated expiry date if replacement cover is implemented; any eligible premium refund will be handled under the policy terms. The award relates to insurance services, evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

For a supplier that did not win this requirement, the award confirms demand from the National Audit Office for UK-wide group life insurance for employees, with continuity of cover important during transition to a longer-term solution. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide employer-sponsored life assurance at organisation-wide scale, maintain uninterrupted employee cover during policy changes, and manage premiums and refunds in line with policy terms. Relevant strengths would include underwriting or placing group life insurance, policy administration, employee eligibility management, clear communication with the employer, and the operational resilience to support a central-government public authority. Experience handling interim arrangements and moving smoothly to replacement cover would also be commercially relevant.
