Summary of the contracting process

Places for People Group Limited is buying insurance and related risk services across 11 lots, delivered in the United Kingdom, with a separate terrorism insurance lot for Ukraine. Cover includes property, legal liability and general insurance; motor fleet; engineering inspection and insurance; terrorism cover through and outside Pool Re; directors’ and officers’ liability; professional indemnity; fidelity and crime; environmental liability; contract works; and alternative risk financing. The wider service includes brokerage where applicable, professional advice, claims management and loss control. This is relevant to insurers and insurance brokers able to provide cover and associated risk services across one or more of these specialist areas. The largest scope is property and general insurance, with specialist individual lots for distinct insurance classes.

The buyer invited offers through a Competitive Flexible Procedure under the Procurement Act 2023. The tender uses a pre-qualifying questionnaire to select bidders; the process may also include tenders, presentations, clarifications and a best and final offer. The stated submission deadline was 30 October 2026 at 17:00, and the expected award decision date was 15 February 2027. Contracts are due to run from 1 April 2027 to 31 March 2032, with an option to extend by up to two years. The published gross lot values range from £100,000 for environmental liability to £88.1 million for property and general insurance; three lots have a stated value of £0. Evaluation is weighted 70% quality and 30% price. Economic and technical selection criteria are set out in the questionnaire.

The opportunity is aimed at suitably qualified and experienced insurance brokers and direct insurers. Suppliers need the capability and capacity to deliver the relevant insurance cover and associated brokerage, professional advice, claims management and loss control services. Depending on the lot, this calls for expertise in property and liability, motor fleets, engineering inspection, terrorism, directors’ and officers’ cover, professional indemnity, crime, environmental liability, contract works or alternative risk financing. Bidders are expected to demonstrate appropriate financial and economic standing as well as technical capability and relevant experience, and to complete the pre-qualifying questionnaire with all relevant information. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable for the property, legal liability and general insurance lot. Suppliers may compete for multiple lots, with a maximum of ten lots awardable to one supplier.
