Summary of the contracting process

The London Borough of Southwark bought terrorism insurance for its buildings, with the cover placed with Brit Syndicate through insurance intermediary Arthur J Gallagher. This is an insurance services requirement covering Southwark’s buildings in London. The procurement was for a single lot and relates specifically to terrorism cover, rather than general insurance services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Arthur J Gallagher. Southwark used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 29 September 2026 and runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. Its value is £97,061.62 excluding VAT and £108,709.01 including VAT. The award is active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The procurement comprised one lot. No evaluation criteria or award rationale are recorded in the available process details.

This award shows Southwark’s demand for terrorism insurance for its own buildings, arranged through an intermediary with placement through an insurance syndicate. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement should be able to provide or arrange specialist terrorism cover for a local authority’s property portfolio, and demonstrate access to suitable underwriting capacity, including through the insurance market where relevant. The selected provider was an insurance intermediary, so credible competitors may include firms able to manage the placement as well as insurers able to underwrite the risk. The limited-competition route means established relationships and the ability to respond to a restricted procurement may be commercially relevant. The buyer is Southwark, and the requirement is specifically building terrorism cover rather than broader insurance work.
