Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, widely recognised as NHS National Services Scotland (NSS), has completed a procurement process for Insurance Brokerage Services essential for the NHS Scotland National Motor Fleet Insurance Policy Framework. This open procedure was aimed at managing insurance under a unified policy for all NHS Scotland vehicles and included ad hoc brokerage services. The procurement took place in Edinburgh, UK, classified under the health industry category, with the contract signed on 30 September 2025. Marsh UK Ltd was awarded the contract with a total estimated value of £528,000 for the four-year framework duration, following the award stage of the procurement process. The initial tender phase commenced with electronic submissions, ending on 28 July 2025, clearly detailing quality and price as key award criteria, with a focus on service delivery and cost-effectiveness.

This contracting process opens significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing insurance brokerage services, especially large-scale firms with expertise in managing comprehensive insurance frameworks across large public organisations. Given the complexity and scale of the contract, it is an excellent opportunity for firms authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority, or those with substantial public liability and professional indemnity insurance coverage, to engage and expand their portfolio in the public sector, specifically within health industry services. The framework agreement emphasises community benefits and collaborative supplier relationships, making it an attractive venture for companies aiming to grow their business and contribute positively to public service projects.
