Summary of the contracting process

Carmarthenshire County Council has procured insurance services for its Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme. The scheme supports tenants by providing contents insurance, and forms part of the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework. The buying organisation is Carmarthenshire County Council, based in Carmarthen. Delivery is across the United Kingdom. This is a service requirement rather than a goods supply or construction project. The procurement concerns a single completed requirement, covering the council’s participation in the tenants’ contents insurance scheme. It will be relevant to insurers, insurance intermediaries and providers with experience of arranging or administering contents insurance for social housing tenants through public-sector or housing-sector frameworks.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company on 10 August 2026. The council used a selective procedure to make a below-threshold award under the Northern Housing Consortium framework; the award was non-competitive at this stage. The contract covers one lot and is valued at £87,882.72 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with three possible 12-month renewal periods extending the maximum end date to 30 September 2030. The contract was signed on 10 August 2026. The procurement was evaluated through the framework award route rather than an open competition, and the awarded supplier is Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement indicates established demand from Carmarthenshire County Council for tenants’ contents insurance delivered through a housing-sector framework. A credible competitor would need to provide insurance services suitable for social housing tenants and understand the operational, customer-service and administration requirements of a tenants’ contents insurance scheme. Experience of public-sector procurement and framework call-offs would be important, because this requirement was awarded under the Northern Housing Consortium framework rather than through a standalone open competition. Insurers or specialist intermediaries with the capacity to support a council-wide tenant customer base, administer policies reliably and operate within framework terms would be best placed for comparable future requirements from this buyer.
