UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Lichfield District Council procured cyber insurance services to protect the council against risks associated with cyber incidents. The requirement falls within financial and insurance services and covers the council’s needs across the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Lichfield District Council, a sub-central public authority based in Lichfield. The procurement was structured as a single requirement rather than a range of separately described service packages. It is relevant to insurers, insurance brokers and specialist risk advisers that provide cyber insurance solutions for public sector organisations. Suppliers whose work is limited to general business insurance, without cyber-risk cover or related insurance expertise, are less closely aligned with this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Marsh Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition, with one completed lot. Marsh Limited was awarded the financial and insurance services requirement. The contract was signed on 16 April 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2027. Its value is £30,444.25 excluding VAT, or £36,533.10 including VAT. The contract is active. The available outcome information records Marsh Limited as the selected supplier; the award itself has no separate award date. This is an awarded procurement rather than an opportunity for suppliers to submit bids under the completed process.

This procurement indicates that Lichfield District Council purchases dedicated cyber insurance through a limited below-threshold competition. Competitors seeking similar council business would need a credible capability in cyber insurance and the ability to provide financial protection for a public authority’s cyber risks. Insurance companies, specialist cyber underwriters and brokers with access to suitable insurance markets are the most relevant supplier types. Experience developing or placing cyber cover for organisations with public-sector governance, accountability and operational requirements would strengthen a future proposition, although the published outcome does not set out specific accreditations, staffing requirements or technical thresholds. The requirement also provides a useful reference point for suppliers tracking council-level demand for specialist cyber-risk cover.
