Summary of the contracting process

Thirteen Housing Group Limited bought specialist terrorism insurance cover under a 12-month policy. The requirement is an insurance service, intended to protect the housing group against terrorism-related risks. The contract covers delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement was organised as one lot, covering the specialist policy as a single requirement. The selected supplier was Advisory Insurance Brokers Limited, an insurance broker. This is a specialist insurance placement rather than a broad package of unrelated services, so the relevant market is brokers and insurers able to arrange or provide terrorism cover for a housing organisation. The requirement demonstrates demand from a housing provider for dedicated terrorism insurance, rather than general insurance services alone.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Thirteen Housing Group awarded the single-lot contract to Advisory Insurance Brokers Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £52,830 including tax. The published procurement information does not set out a separate award date or evaluation criteria, so the direct award route is the stated basis for selecting the supplier. The contract is for a 12-month specialist terrorism insurance policy. The buyer is Thirteen Housing Group Limited, a housing group, and the selected provider is identified as a large supplier.

For brokers and insurers competing when Thirteen Housing Group next buys this specific cover, credibility will depend on being able to arrange or underwrite specialist terrorism insurance for a housing organisation. The selected supplier was a large insurance broker, evidence that the requirement was met through a provider with brokerage capability. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate access to suitable terrorism insurance capacity and an ability to place a dedicated policy for the buyer’s risk profile. This was a single, focused insurance requirement, rather than a multi-lot programme, and the route used was a below-threshold direct award without competition. A competitor should therefore understand how to engage with the buyer’s procurement approach as well as how to deliver the specialist cover.
