UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

One Manchester Limited has appointed an insurer to provide a tenants’ contents insurance scheme for its tenants. The service is insurance cover for tenants’ belongings, delivered in the United Kingdom. This is a service procurement under One Manchester’s housing operations, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The scheme is described as “Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance”; the contract title identifies the October 2026 start. The appointment was made through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Framework, so the requirement sits within a framework arrangement rather than a standalone open competition. The named buyer is One Manchester Limited, a housing organisation based in Manchester.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ecclesiastical Insurance Office Public Limited Company. The award was made on 17 August 2026 and the contract was signed that day. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with three optional 12-month extensions, allowing a maximum period to 30 September 2029. The contract value is £29,802.96. One Manchester used a selective route to award under the Northern Housing Consortium framework; the call-off was non-competitive. There was one completed lot. The award notice does not state evaluation criteria for this appointment.

This award shows One Manchester’s demand for a tenant-facing contents insurance scheme that can be sourced through the Northern Housing Consortium framework. Ecclesiastical Insurance Office, a large insurer, was selected to provide the service, indicating that a credible competitor for a future requirement would need to underwrite and administer tenants’ contents cover and demonstrate the capacity to support a housing provider’s scheme. Familiarity with framework call-off arrangements would also be relevant, since this appointment was made under the consortium’s framework rather than through an open standalone competition. The requirement is specific to tenants’ contents insurance; insurers and intermediaries with relevant product, scheme-management and housing-sector delivery capability are the closest fit.
