OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Cunninghame Housing Association and its subsidiary companies bought insurance services through Howden UK Insurance Brokers. The requirement covers buildings insurance for commercial and residential property, property owners’ liability, loss of rent or alternative accommodation, and terrorism cover. The work relates to the housing association’s property portfolio in South Ayrshire. This is a public-sector housing insurance requirement, suited to insurers, Lloyd’s of London underwriters, managing general agents and specialist insurance intermediaries able to cover residential and commercial housing assets, associated liabilities and property-related losses. The buying organisation is based in Glasgow, while the insured properties and the associated risk exposure are in South Ayrshire.

The procurement has been awarded and the lot is complete. It used an open procedure with written submissions. Five bids were received, including one from an SME, and all five were electronic. The estimated lot value was £719,000 including a participation fee for tender documents. AXA Scotland was selected, and the resulting active contract is valued at £573,371. The award date was 11 August 2025 and the contract was signed on 1 October 2025. The initial contract period is 1,080 days, with an option to extend for a further 24 months. Bids had to be submitted by 4 August 2025 at 12:00 and remain valid until 1 October 2025. Evaluation weighted quality at 60% and price at 40%; variants were not permitted.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-risk insurance requirement from a housing association covering both commercial and residential buildings, liability, rental income protection, alternative accommodation and terrorism. A credible competitor for the next opportunity would need to underwrite or manage these risks across a housing portfolio in South Ayrshire, with sufficient claims-handling and policy administration capacity. The procurement was open to insurers, Lloyd’s of London underwriters and managing general agents, so firms operating through delegated authority or specialist broking arrangements may be relevant. Suppliers also needed a minimum Standard & Poor’s or AM Best rating of A, and were expected to identify the staff and qualifications supporting delivery. Quality carried greater weight than price, making service capability, technical expertise and evidence of dependable claims performance important.
