Summary of the contracting process

West College Scotland procured insurance services for the college and its associated campuses. The requirement covers insurance provision, classified under insurance services (CPV 66515000), for the college’s operations across its campus estate. West College Scotland is the buying organisation and is based in Paisley. The service was delivered for West College Scotland and its associated campuses, rather than for a single commercial site. The procurement sits within the APUC Insurance, Brokerage and Associated Risk Management Services framework, so it is relevant to insurance companies, insurance brokers and providers of associated risk management services with the ability to support a public education organisation and its wider campus estate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure under the APUC Insurance, Brokerage and Associated Risk Management Services framework. It was a single-lot requirement. Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and is active. Its value is £818,466. One bid was received, submitted electronically; the bid statistics record no SME bid and one bid from outside the EU. The award record does not provide a separate award date. The contracting process is therefore an example of a completed framework-based insurance services procurement, with the contract value stated for the awarded requirement rather than an estimate across multiple lots or suppliers.

This procurement is commercially relevant to established insurance brokers and providers of insurance and associated risk management services seeking public-sector education clients. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to arrange and manage insurance services for a college and multiple associated campuses, and to operate through the APUC framework route. The successful supplier was a large organisation, indicating that capacity to manage a substantial institutional account may be important. The single recorded bid came from a non-EU supplier and was submitted electronically, showing that the route can attract internationally capable providers. Suppliers with public-sector brokerage experience, reliable account management and the operational scale to support a campus estate would be well placed when this requirement returns to market.
