Summary of the contracting process

Citizen Housing Group Ltd appointed specialist insurance consultancy services to support its insurance programme and property operations. The work covers complex claims, including subsidence, insurance cover enhancements and insurer training, process reviews, and advice on leasehold legislation from an insurance perspective. It also includes reporting to senior leadership and governance bodies, claims trend analysis, holistic risk management, renewal support and alternatives, and flood and storm mapping for insurance purposes. The consultant will help develop strategies for evolving risks such as electric vehicles and solar panels, and support the property team in improving the detail it provides to insurers. The services are for Citizen Housing Group Ltd, based in Birmingham, and are delivered in the United Kingdom. The work falls within insurance consultancy and insurance services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gibbs Laidler. Citizen Housing used a below-threshold direct award without competition. The process had one lot, which is complete. The contract was signed on 26 August 2026 and runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 August 2029. Its value is £108,000 excluding VAT (£129,600 including VAT). The award is active, and the contract is active. The published procurement information does not set out a scored evaluation basis; the supplier was selected through a direct award rather than a competitive evaluation.

For a future requirement from Citizen Housing, a credible consultancy would need demonstrable expertise across insurance programme advice and housing-related property risks. Relevant capability includes handling complex claims such as subsidence, reviewing processes and cover, supporting renewals and alternatives, and helping insurers receive detailed property information. Suppliers would also need to provide claims trend analysis, clear reporting for senior leadership and governance, and broader risk management advice, including mapping flood and storm exposure. The requirement also points to the value of advising on changing risks such as electric vehicles and solar panels, and on insurance implications of leasehold legislation. The range suggests a provider able to combine specialist insurance knowledge with practical support to property teams and senior decision-makers.
