UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Arches Housing Limited appointed Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc to provide a simple tenants’ contents insurance scheme for its tenants. The requirement is an insurance service, covering tenants’ contents, delivered in the United Kingdom. The arrangement was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme framework. This is a housing-provider insurance requirement rather than a general property or building insurance contract: suppliers focused on tenant contents cover and schemes designed for social housing are the closest fit. The published scope names the scheme but gives no further detail on individual cover levels or policy features.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc. The award date was 1 June 2026. The contract was signed on 24 April 2026 and runs from 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027, with three possible 12-month renewals, extending to 30 June 2030. The awarded contract value is £5,320.84. Arches Housing used a selective, below-threshold award under an existing framework; the framework call-off was non-competitive. The procurement comprised one lot. The published details do not set out separate evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For insurers and specialist intermediaries, this award shows a small-scale, tenant-focused contents insurance requirement from a social housing provider, placed through the Northern Housing Consortium’s dedicated framework. A credible future competitor would need to provide a straightforward tenants’ contents scheme suitable for a housing association’s tenant population and be able to participate in the relevant framework route. Experience in arranging and administering contents cover for social housing tenants would be directly relevant. The selected supplier is a large insurance provider, indicating that an established insurer or a partner with the necessary underwriting and scheme-delivery capability is well placed. The available scope does not identify particular accreditations, coverage limits or service-level requirements, so the clearest competitive fit is demonstrable capability in tenant contents insurance and framework-based public-sector delivery.
