Summary of the contracting process

Ardenglen Housing Association Ltd is seeking insurance and risk-related services for its operations in Glasgow. The requirement covers insurance for property and legal liabilities, plus other general non-life risks. It also includes insurance brokerage where applicable, professional advice, claims management and loss control. Separate lots cover property, legal liability and general risks; cyber liability; terrorism cover through Pool Re and outside Pool Re; directors’ and officers’ insurance; professional indemnity; crime and fidelity; and alternative risk financing. This is a services opportunity for suppliers able to provide insurance cover and associated risk services across one or more of these areas. The work is for the housing association, with delivery in Glasgow.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure, with bidders selected for the next stage based on their responses to the pre-qualification SPD. The submission deadline was 12 November 2026 at 17:00 UTC. The contract is planned to start on 1 April 2027 and run for three years, with the possibility of extension for up to two further years. The stated procurement value is £616,000. There are eight lots, and suppliers may bid for any number. Four candidates are to be invited to the second stage. Award is on the basis of the most economically advantageous tender; the published lot criteria allocate 50% to quality and 50% to price. Bids must be submitted in English, and variants are not allowed.

The opportunity is suited to experienced insurance brokers and direct insurers, including firms able to place cover with appropriate risk carriers. Suppliers need the capability and capacity to perform the contract, alongside adequate financial and economic standing and relevant experience. The scope suits businesses with expertise in insurance placement and advice, claims handling and loss control, as well as specialist cover in areas such as cyber, terrorism, professional indemnity, directors’ and officers’ liability, and crime or fidelity risks. The alternative risk financing lot may also suit providers with relevant financing expertise. Suppliers can target individual insurance specialisms or bid across several lots. The pre-qualification stage requires a completed SPD with all relevant information, so bidders should be ready to evidence their suitability and delivery credentials.
