Summary of the contracting process

Health Data Research UK procured insurance brokerage and risk advisory services. The requirement covers placing and managing commercial insurance policies, arranging specialist insurance cover, supporting claims advocacy, and providing specialist risk solutions. It also includes purchasing insurance products and related services to meet the organisation’s coverage and risk-management needs. This is a professional services opportunity for an insurance broker with the ability to advise a public-sector research organisation, manage a commercial insurance programme and support it when claims arise. The named buyer is Health Data Research UK, based at 215 Euston Road, London. The services are delivered in the United Kingdom, so relevant suppliers should be able to support UK-wide insurance arrangements and risk advice.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to W. Denis (Insurance Brokers) PLC. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 May 2026 and runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2029. Its gross value is £200,000. The contract includes options for the purchase of insurance products and related services to meet specific organisational coverage and risk-management requirements. The opportunity was classified as insurance brokerage services under CPV 66518100. The recorded procedure was limited competition below the applicable threshold, rather than an open tender. The selected supplier is an SME.

This procurement demonstrates an established requirement for a specialist insurance intermediary serving Health Data Research UK. A credible future competitor would need insurance broking capability covering commercial policy placement and ongoing policy management, together with the expertise to source specialist coverage where standard products do not meet organisational risks. The requirement also favours a broker able to provide practical risk advice, develop specialist risk solutions and act as an effective advocate for the client during claims. Suppliers should be able to manage the relationship across the United Kingdom and translate the needs of a public-sector research organisation into appropriate insurance arrangements. The award to an SME indicates that the scale and delivery model can be handled by a focused specialist broker, rather than requiring a large corporate provider.
