Summary of the contracting process

Ardenglen Housing Association Ltd is buying insurance and related risk services for its operations in Glasgow. The scope is divided into eight lots: property, legal liability and other general insurance; cyber liability; terrorism cover through Pool Re and outside Pool Re; directors’ and officers’ cover; professional indemnity; crime and fidelity; and alternative risk financing. Services include arranging insurance cover, brokerage where applicable, professional advice, claims management and loss control. This is relevant to insurance brokers and insurers able to cover one or more of these risk areas and provide associated claims and risk-management support. The requirement combines conventional property and liability protection with specialist cyber, terrorism, management liability, professional indemnity, crime and alternative financing needs.

The buyer invited offers through a selective competitive procedure with negotiation. The procurement reached the tender stage, with initial selection based on pre-qualification SPD responses and a stated plan to invite four candidates to the next stage. The tender deadline was 12 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC; the planned invitation date was 20 November 2026. The contract is due to start on 1 April 2027 for three years, with an option to extend by up to two further years at the association’s discretion. The estimated value is £616,000. Eight lots separate the insurance lines. Award is on the most economically advantageous tender basis, with quality weighted at 50% and price at 50%. Alternative bids are not allowed.

The opportunity suits suitably qualified and experienced insurance brokers and direct insurers. Suppliers need the capability and capacity to provide cover across the risks they bid for, with relevant financial and economic standing and experience to perform the contract. Brokers may bring risk carriers they propose for the placement; the association may consider long-term agreements with the bidder or those carriers, subject to satisfactory service, performance and cost. Providers with specialist underwriting or broking expertise in cyber, terrorism, property and liability, directors’ and officers’, professional indemnity, crime and fidelity, or alternative risk financing can target the lots matching their portfolio. Claims-management and loss-control capability, alongside professional insurance advice, is directly relevant to delivery.
