Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Rochford District Council bought a corporate insurance policy covering material damage and business interruption, including terrorism; combined liability; crime; personal accident and business travel; computer risks; and its motor fleet. The requirement brings together property, business interruption and liability cover with specialist policies for staff, technology and vehicles. The insurance was for the council’s corporate operations in Rochford, Essex.

The procurement is complete and a contract was awarded to Zurich Insurance Company Ltd. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and is active, with a value of £701,660. The published data gives no contract period or award date. The council used a restricted procedure, and price was the stated award criterion. The requirement was arranged as one package, with an option structure described as 2+1+1+1. Five bids were received. The package is marked cancelled in the tender details, while the award and contract are active; the recorded outcome is an active award and contract.

For insurers considering similar Rochford District Council requirements, this award shows demand for a broad corporate insurance programme spanning property damage, business interruption, terrorism, liability, crime, personal accident, business travel, computer risks and motor fleet. A credible competitor would need the underwriting breadth and capacity to cover these risks together, alongside the expertise to price and manage a local authority’s diverse exposures. The procurement attracted five bids and used a restricted procedure, with price as the stated award criterion, so competitive pricing across the whole package mattered. The option structure points to a requirement designed to accommodate extensions; insurers should be able to support continuity of cover across successive policy periods.
