Summary of the contracting process

Wythenshawe Community Housing Group Limited procured group life insurance for eligible colleagues, in line with its pension policy. The service provides life insurance cover for the housing group’s eligible workforce. The award classifies the requirement as life insurance services (CPV 66511000). Delivery is recorded for the United Kingdom; the buyer is based in Manchester. This is a single, un subdivided requirement rather than a set of separately described service lots. The procurement is relevant to insurers and employee-benefits providers able to arrange and administer group life cover for an organisation’s staff, particularly suppliers experienced in tailoring cover to employer pension policies and workforce eligibility rules.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Aviva Life & Pensions UK Limited. Wythenshawe Community Housing Group used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 1 April 2025 and runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. Its gross contract value is £44,366.82. The award date is not recorded. There was one lot, covering the group life insurance requirement. The available procurement information does not state the evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility conditions, so the basis used to compare suppliers cannot be described more precisely.

This award demonstrates demand from Wythenshawe Community Housing Group for employer group life insurance aligned with its pension policy, delivered as a single service requirement. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need to underwrite or place group life cover, manage eligibility for an employer’s colleagues, and show how the cover fits the organisation’s pension arrangements. Insurers and benefits providers with experience serving housing associations or other sizeable workforces may find the requirement relevant if they can support employer-level policy administration and provide a service suited to the buyer’s staff. The award went to a large insurer, indicating that a supplier competing for this scale of requirement should be able to offer dependable insurance capacity and handle the operational requirements of workforce cover.
