UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The University of Exeter is procuring motor fleet insurance and engineering inspection services for its campuses in Exeter and Falmouth. The requirement is divided into four service areas: motor insurance for Exeter-based campuses; motor insurance for Falmouth-based campuses; engineering inspection insurance for Exeter-based campuses; and engineering inspection insurance for Falmouth-based campuses. This is a services contract covering insurance policies and inspection-related provision rather than physical construction or vehicle supply. The work is delivered in the United Kingdom, with the operational locations identified as Exeter and Falmouth. Businesses specialising in motor fleet insurance, engineering inspection insurance, or both areas may find the scope relevant, depending on which service area they can provide.

The buyer has reached the tender stage and invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement has four lots, with a stated total value of £860,000 excluding VAT and £1,032,000 including VAT. Individual gross lot values are £304,800 for Exeter motor insurance, £516,000 for Falmouth motor insurance, £84,000 for Exeter engineering inspection, and £127,200 for Falmouth engineering inspection. Enquiries were due by 24 August 2026 at 15:00, and offers by 8 September 2026 at 11:00. The expected award decision date is 25 September 2026. Contracts are scheduled from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2029, with two 12-month extension options allowing a maximum end date of 1 October 2031. Evaluation is 60% price and 40% technical quality.

This opportunity suits established insurance providers with capability in motor fleet cover, engineering inspection insurance, or a combination of both. Suppliers should be able to design and administer policies for university campuses in Exeter and Falmouth and support the relevant inspection-related insurance requirements. The four-lot structure creates separate opportunities for motor insurance and engineering inspection insurance at each location, so businesses can focus on the service areas aligned with their operational expertise. Each lot is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making the procurement relevant to specialist insurers and other suitably sized providers as well as larger firms. Technical quality carries substantial weight in evaluation, so bidders will need to demonstrate a credible service approach alongside competitive pricing.
