Summary of the contracting process

Believe Housing Limited procured insurance services for its Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme. The scheme provides tenants’ contents insurance, arranged for housing residents rather than for general commercial customers. The work covers the United Kingdom. Believe Housing is the buying organisation and the appointed provider is Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company, a large insurance business based in Gloucester. The requirement forms part of the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework. This is a specialist housing-related insurance service, so relevant suppliers are insurers, brokers or insurance service providers with experience designing and administering contents cover for tenants and social housing landlords. The procurement concerns one completed requirement under the framework.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Believe Housing appointed Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company on 30 July 2026 through a selective, below-threshold award under the Northern Housing Consortium framework, without a competitive call-off. The contract is valued at £159,807.64 gross. It runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with the option of three further 12-month renewal periods, allowing the maximum period to extend to 30 September 2030. The contract was signed on 30 July 2026, with signature scheduled for completion by 30 September 2026. There is one completed lot, covering the tenants’ contents insurance service. The award is below the applicable threshold.

This award demonstrates established demand from a housing provider for a structured tenants’ contents insurance scheme delivered through a sector framework. Businesses well placed for similar requirements would be regulated insurance providers, specialist brokers or managing agents able to provide affordable contents cover to social housing tenants and administer policies at housing-provider scale. Relevant capability includes scheme design, tenant-facing communications, enrolment and policy administration, claims handling, customer support and reporting to the landlord. Experience working with housing associations or framework operators would strengthen credibility, particularly where the service must operate consistently across a broad tenant base. Suppliers should also be able to manage a multi-year arrangement, including separate annual renewal decisions, while maintaining service quality, compliance and operational capacity throughout the relationship.
