Summary of the contracting process

Caledonian Maritime Assets Ltd (CMAL), a harbour authority and asset owner based in Port Glasgow, sought insurance brokerage services. The requirement was for a professional insurance broker to act as CMAL’s contracted agent and oversee its insurance activity. The broker would provide advice on the insurance market, procure and place annual insurance policies, and handle claims on CMAL’s behalf. This is a specialist insurance intermediary service rather than the provision of insurance itself. The work relates to CMAL’s insurance requirements and operations, with the procurement classified under CPV 66518000 for insurance brokerage and related services. The requirement was structured as a single lot and included electronic payment and ordering arrangements.

The procurement used an open procedure and was cancelled; the lot and award are recorded as unsuccessful because the process was discontinued. The tender deadline was amended twice, ultimately to 22 April 2026 at 12 noon, with tender opening at the same time. The planned contract period was 1,440 days, with provision for up to four additional one-year extensions. Bids could include variants, had to be submitted in English and remain valid for 90 days. Evaluation gave 40 points to price and 6 points to the transition process. Bidders had to provide the names and professional qualifications of proposed staff. No supplier or awarded value is recorded.

This procurement indicates demand from CMAL for an insurance broker able to provide both strategic market advice and practical policy and claims administration. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need professional insurance brokerage expertise, experience placing annual commercial policies and the capacity to manage claims as the buyer’s agent. The transition process was specifically evaluated, so suppliers would need a clear, workable approach to taking over insurance arrangements and maintaining continuity. The requirement for staff names and qualifications means bidders should be able to put forward an experienced, suitably qualified team. The discontinued process also shows that this specialist service is a defined purchasing requirement for CMAL.
