Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Southwark procured terrorism insurance for its buildings. The cover was placed with Brit Syndicate through Arthur J Gallagher. This is an insurance services requirement relating to protection of the council’s property against terrorism risks. The delivery location is London, within the borough. The contract concerns a single, borough-wide requirement rather than separately described building or site packages, and the procurement is recorded as one lot. Suppliers relevant to comparable requirements would be insurers or insurance intermediaries able to arrange terrorism cover for a local authority property portfolio, including placement with an insurance syndicate.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Arthur J Gallagher. Southwark used a below-threshold limited competition procedure. 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 (£108,709.01 including VAT). The contract covers the single lot for terrorism insurance for Southwark buildings, with the risk placed with Brit Syndicate. The award is active and the contract is active. No evaluation criteria or scoring basis are stated in the procurement information, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed is not described.

This award shows that Southwark buys terrorism insurance for its building portfolio through a limited competition and that the requirement was fulfilled by an insurance intermediary placing cover with a syndicate. Suppliers seeking to compete when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate access to terrorism insurance capacity and the ability to arrange suitable cover across a local authority’s buildings. Credibility would depend on experience in municipal or comparable property portfolios, effective market access to insurers or syndicates, and the capacity to manage placement and servicing of the policy. Insurance brokers able to coordinate specialist terrorism cover with an underwriter are directly relevant; firms without access to appropriate underwriting capacity are less likely to match the model used for this award.
