UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Stoke-on-Trent City Council appointed an insurer to provide its Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme. The requirement is for insurance services covering tenants’ contents, delivered for the council’s housing service in the United Kingdom. The arrangement is being made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework. Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company is the appointed supplier. The procurement is therefore relevant to insurers and insurance service providers with experience of tenants’ contents cover, particularly schemes delivered for social housing or local-authority tenants. It may also interest organisations supporting the administration, distribution or servicing of such policies, although the published requirement concerns the insurance service itself rather than wider housing works or property services.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded and signed. Stoke-on-Trent City Council used a selective, below-threshold award under an existing framework, without a competitive process for this call-off. Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company was awarded the single completed lot on 18 September 2026. The contract value is £203,765.32 gross, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with three individual 12-month extension options available. If all extensions are used, the maximum contract end date is 30 November 2030. The award and contract are both recorded as active, while the tender status is complete. The outcome shows the council’s chosen route and incumbent supplier for this requirement.

This award is useful market evidence for insurers assessing future local-authority tenants’ contents opportunities. A credible competitor would need to provide tenants’ contents insurance at council-scheme scale and understand the needs of social housing tenants, public-sector buyers and framework-based call-offs. Relevant capability includes designing and administering suitable contents cover, handling policyholder and council relationships, managing claims and maintaining service performance throughout the contract term. Experience of the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework, or an equivalent route into public-sector insurance work, would help a supplier compete for comparable requirements. Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company’s appointment indicates that established insurance providers with the capacity to support a council-wide scheme are the closest competitive reference point when this buyer next reviews the service.
