UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral Council procured a cyber insurance policy to cover increased costs of working and lost revenue following a cyber attack. The purchase is a financial and insurance service, intended to protect the council against the financial impact of a cyber incident.

The procurement is complete and Marsh Limited was selected for the contract. Wirral Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 31 October 2027. Its value is £86,062.37 excluding VAT (£103,274.84 including VAT).

This award demonstrates Wirral Council’s demand for cyber insurance that protects against both the additional costs of keeping services operating after an attack and revenue lost as a result. For a comparable requirement, a credible competitor would need to provide cover addressing both types of financial impact, with the underwriting capacity and insurance expertise to support a public-sector buyer. Marsh Limited, a large supplier, was selected through a direct award without competition; the process therefore offers limited evidence about how competing insurers would be assessed.
