Summary of the contracting process

Bield Housing & Care is currently involved in the procurement process for Insurance Services, with a notable focus on the social care sector in the UK. The procurement is in the award stage, having originally begun in 2016. This contract, which was initially set to expire on 31 March 2021, has been extended by an additional year following negotiations with the current providers, Thistle Insurance Services Ltd and Marsh Limited. The contract is valued at approximately GBP 2,627,247.51, with delivery expected within the region of Scotland.

This tender presents a significant growth opportunity for businesses specialising in insurance brokerage and related services. Companies that can provide tailored insurance solutions for the social care sector, especially those capable of navigating the complexities arising from recent regulatory changes and economic factors such as Brexit and COVID-19, would be well-suited to compete. Interested suppliers should be prepared for a forthcoming retendering process scheduled to commence in July 2021, as indicated by the contracting authority.

Notice Description

Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract was originally procured in 2016 for a 36-month period with a 24-month extension option, originally due to expire on 31 March 2021. It covers the brokerage and provision of Insurance Services for Bield Housing & Care, and was originally of an average yearly value of GBP460,086.54. This modification would add another 12 months to the period of the contract. Due to the impossibility of running a procurement exercise, this extension was directly negotiated with the incumbent provider.
