Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (Utility), based in Port Glasgow, is currently in the tender stage for solicitation of insurance brokerage services. It seeks a professional broker to act as its contracted agent, offering services such as market advice, insurance policy placement, and claims handling. The procurement process follows an open procedure and primarily targets the services category. Interested businesses have until 14 April 2026 to submit their electronic proposals. This contract offers flexibility, allowing extensions for up to four additional years, which could be attractive for longer-term engagements.

Companies that can demonstrate quality transition processes alongside competitive pricing will have a significant edge, as both are key award criteria. The tender provides an opportunity for firms looking to expand their portfolio with a public sector contract, and it encourages electronic submissions and invoicing, streamlining administrative processes.
