Summary of the contracting process

London Borough of Southwark bought terrorism insurance for its buildings. The cover was placed with Brit Syndicate through Arthur J Gallagher, covering properties in London. This is an insurance-services requirement for the borough’s building portfolio, rather than a construction or security-services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Southwark used limited competition below the procurement threshold. Arthur J Gallagher was selected and the contract was signed on 29 September 2026. Its value is £97,061.62 excluding VAT (£108,709.01 including VAT). The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027. The procurement comprised one lot. The published details do not state separate evaluation criteria.

For future Southwark requirements of this kind, credible competitors will need to arrange terrorism insurance for a local authority’s buildings and demonstrate the ability to place cover with an appropriate insurance market. This procurement shows that Southwark has used limited competition and an intermediary, Arthur J Gallagher, to place cover with Brit Syndicate. Brokers and insurance providers with relevant terrorism-risk expertise, access to suitable underwriting capacity and experience serving public-sector property portfolios are therefore well placed to compete when the requirement returns to market. Suppliers should be able to understand the borough’s building exposure and coordinate placement with insurers; the contract is for insurance cover, not for building security or physical works.
