Summary of the contracting process

West Midlands Combined Authority procured warranty and indemnity insurance broker services. The requirement covers insurance brokerage, with associated transport systems consultancy services. The buyer is the West Midlands Combined Authority, a public authority based in Birmingham, and the services are delivered in the United Kingdom. The work is relevant to firms that advise public-sector clients on warranty and indemnity insurance, arrange or broker suitable cover, and provide related advice connected with transport systems. The requirement is service-based rather than for physical goods or construction works, and is centred on brokerage and consultancy support for the authority’s activities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. WIISPA LIMITED was selected for the single lot, and the contract was signed on 22 July 2026. The active contract runs from 27 July 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £133,295 excluding VAT, or £159,954 including VAT. The award covers insurance brokerage services and transport systems consultancy services. The contracting process used a single completed lot, with the successful supplier appointed by the West Midlands Combined Authority. The recorded contract title is Warranty & Indemnity Insurance Broker.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the West Midlands Combined Authority for specialist warranty and indemnity insurance brokerage linked to public-sector and transport-related activity. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in insurance brokerage, including understanding client risks, identifying appropriate insurance solutions and supporting the authority through the brokerage process. Experience of transport systems or transport infrastructure consultancy would be relevant because the requirement also included that service area. The successful supplier was recorded as an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business can satisfy this type of requirement. Firms should be able to combine insurance knowledge with advice suited to a public authority’s transport-related transactions and risk profile.
