Lots are assessed individually; up to seven may be awarded to one supplier.

The opportunity suits insurance providers and brokers able to arrange cover across a varied portfolio of housing-provider risks. Yorkshire Housing is seeking a choice of suitable insurers and cover options; brokers may place each lot’s insurance with different insurers, but must provide full details of the risk carriers. Insurers must have at least an A- rating from Standard & Poor’s or AM Best, or an equivalent rating from an independent, reputable credit rating agency approved by the bidder’s market security committee. A lower-rated insurer may be accepted at Yorkshire Housing’s discretion if the committee’s latest report and written recommendation are provided before the tender bid deadline. Suppliers need a skilled service team covering client relationship management, claims management, broking or underwriting, and insurable risk management, and must deliver good service directly and through any third-party contractors or insurers.
