Summary of the contracting process

Ongo Homes Limited, based in Scunthorpe, appointed an insurer to provide its Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme. The requirement covers insurance services for Ongo Homes’ tenants across the United Kingdom, under the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework. The scheme is intended to provide tenants’ contents insurance through the housing provider’s arrangements. The appointed supplier is Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company, based in Gloucester. This is a single-service requirement rather than a package of separate lots. It is relevant to insurers, insurance intermediaries and organisations with established capability in designing, underwriting, administering or supporting tenants’ contents insurance schemes for social housing providers and their residents.

The procurement has been completed and the contract is active. Ongo Homes used a selective, non-competitive below-threshold award under the Northern Housing Consortium framework. Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company was awarded the contract on 22 July 2026 for £7,209.68 including gross value, with the contract signed on the same date. The initial contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with the option of three individual 12-month renewals, allowing the arrangement to extend until 31 August 2030. The award was made for services and was not above the relevant threshold. The process had one completed lot, and the award was made without reopening competition.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from a social housing provider for a tenants’ contents insurance scheme delivered through an established housing-sector framework. A credible future competitor would need appropriate insurance-sector capability, including the capacity to arrange and administer contents cover for social housing tenants, manage policyholder and tenant-facing services, and meet the governance, compliance and operational standards associated with an established framework. Experience working with housing associations or similar public-service landlords would be relevant, as would the ability to support a scheme across a broad geographic area rather than a single property or site. The selected supplier is a large insurance organisation, indicating that scale, underwriting capability and dependable administration are important commercial considerations for this buyer.
