UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

National Highways Limited bought private medical insurance services from Bupa Insurance Limited. The requirement was to adjust the previous year’s cover and carry out a full review of current memberships. This is a single, organisation-wide insurance requirement rather than a set of separately described service lots. The service falls within health and medical insurance. The buyer is National Highways Limited, the UK strategic road network operator; the contract record gives Birmingham as the buyer’s address, but does not identify a place where the insurance service is delivered. The requirement concerns changes to existing cover and membership arrangements, so its focus is on maintaining and reviewing an established insurance scheme rather than introducing a new service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Bupa Insurance Limited. National Highways used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 26 September 2026 to 30 June 2027. Its stated value is £14,945.83 excluding VAT and £17,934.99 including VAT. There was one lot, covering the insurance service. The procurement description identifies adjustment of the previous year’s cover and a full review of current memberships as the work required. The award is active, and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This award shows demand from National Highways for a provider able to administer private medical insurance and make amendments to existing cover while reviewing member arrangements. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to offer medical insurance products and the operational capacity to manage policy changes and membership reviews for an established scheme. The selected supplier is a large insurer, indicating that the buyer chose an established provider for this requirement; the procurement does not set out specific accreditations, technical qualifications or staffing requirements. The work is a focused insurance service, not a wider health-service delivery contract. Suppliers with experience in group medical insurance, ongoing policy administration and membership data management are the closest fit when this buyer’s requirement is next considered.
