Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured specialist terrorism insurance cover as part of its wider insurance programme. The service provides protection against losses arising from acts of terrorism, covering the council’s requirements in Derby and the surrounding council area. This is a public-sector insurance service rather than construction, goods supply or general consultancy. The buyer is Derby City Council, a sub-central public authority. The requirement is suited to insurance brokers, insurers and specialist risk advisers able to arrange and support terrorism cover for a local authority, understand public-sector insurance programmes and provide protection for losses arising from terrorism-related events. The procurement falls within insurance services (CPV 66510000).

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Derby City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited was selected for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £102,256.53 excluding VAT, or £122,707.84 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the direct-award route rather than a competitive tender, and the published outcome identifies one supplier for the terrorism insurance service.

This procurement shows established demand from Derby City Council for specialist terrorism insurance within a broader local-authority insurance programme. Competitors would need demonstrable expertise in arranging terrorism cover and assessing or transferring risks arising from acts of terrorism. They would also need to understand the requirements of a public authority and how specialist cover fits alongside other municipal insurance arrangements. Relevant capability includes access to suitable insurance markets, strong broking and policy-management processes, and the capacity to support a council-level account throughout the policy period. Firms able to combine specialist terrorism-risk knowledge with reliable public-sector service delivery would be best placed when this requirement is next reviewed.
