Summary of the contracting process

Community Gateway Association Limited, based in Preston, appointed Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc to provide a Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme for its tenants. This is an insurance service, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The scheme is arranged through the Northern Housing Consortium’s Simple Tenants’ Contents Insurance Scheme Framework. The service is for the buyer’s tenant population, with delivery recorded as covering the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc. The buyer used a selective, below-threshold award through the Northern Housing Consortium framework, without a competitive call-off. The award was made and the contract signed on 14 October 2026. The contract value is £44,462.80. Its initial term runs from 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with provision for three further individual 12-month periods and an overall possible end date of 30 November 2030. The procurement was for one lot. The published information does not set out a separate evaluation or scoring basis.

This award demonstrates demand from a housing association for tenants’ contents insurance delivered through the Northern Housing Consortium’s dedicated framework. Suppliers seeking similar work would need to offer a tenants’ contents insurance scheme and be positioned to supply through that framework route. The buyer selected a large insurance company for this requirement, showing the kind of provider that secured the appointment; the published information does not describe specific accreditations, technical thresholds or experience requirements. The contract is relatively focused in scope and serves Community Gateway Association’s tenants, rather than indicating a wider insurance requirement. For insurance providers already capable of serving social housing tenants through the relevant framework, it is a concrete example of the buyer’s purchasing pattern.
