Summary of the contracting process

Dundee and Angus College procured non-life insurance and related services for its Dundee operations, including the Kingsway Campus on Old Glamis Road. The requirement covers insurance, brokerage and associated risk management services. It was bought by Dundee and Angus College, an education-sector public body and central purchasing organisation. The work is a service delivered for the college in Dundee. The procurement was a mini-competition under the APUC Insurance, Brokerage and Associated Risk Management Framework Agreement, reference PFB1043 AP. The requirement was classified under CPV 66510000, insurance services. It formed one lot covering non-life insurance and related services, with framework suppliers invited to submit bids.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Zurich Insurance PLC trading as Zurich Municipal. The contract is active and was signed on 9 July 2026 for £500,000. This was a mini-competition conducted through an open procedure under the relevant framework agreement, with one lot. Two electronic bids were received, and the award was made on the basis set out in the procurement documents. Both bids came from non-EU suppliers, and neither was identified as an SME. The contract is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement. The award was made against the Insurance, Brokerage and Associated Risk Management Framework Agreement, and the selected supplier is the only supplier recorded for the awarded lot.

This procurement demonstrates an established requirement for a supplier able to provide non-life insurance alongside brokerage and associated risk management services to a further-education organisation. A credible future competitor would need to deliver the full insurance and advisory requirement through the framework route, rather than offering a narrow standalone policy. The result also shows that the market included established overseas providers and that the buyer evaluated electronic submissions from framework suppliers. Relevant businesses should therefore be able to demonstrate broad insurance-sector capability, brokerage expertise, risk-management support and the operational capacity to serve a college estate and its associated activities. Experience of public-sector procurement and framework mini-competitions would strengthen their position when this type of requirement returns.
