Having initiated the tender process open to suppliers within the insurance sector, the council is seeking comprehensive coverage for its properties and activities starting 1 April 2026, for a duration of three years with an option to extend. Located in the South West region of England, the council requires coverage including cyber insurance, flood risks, and potential multi-million-pound capital project protection. The tender period concluded on 4 March 2026, and Zurich Municipal has been awarded the contract, valued at £74,826, as of 23 March 2026. The buyer is Swanage Town Council, with Alison Spencer as the contact point, reachable at a.spencer@swanage.gov.uk. This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for insurance providers experienced in town and parish council operations. With requirements extending to comprehensive insurance coverage and potential involvement in large-scale projects, businesses capable of delivering adaptable insurance solutions—including cyber and flood insurance—will find this contract beneficial. Additionally, town councils acting as corporate trustees may require specialised knowledge in covering trust assets. Large insurance firms with capabilities to manage diverse risk categories and custom insurance specifications stand to benefit from competing for similar future tenders. The open procurement method suggests that there are opportunities for providers across the sector to participate. ## Notice Swanage Town Council wishes to invite tenders from insurance providers with experience of town and parish council operations. It requires comprehensive cover for its properties and activities for a three year period commencing 1 April 2026, with an option to extend. The council does not currently have cyber insurance, but quotes should include this category. The council will be undertaking a multi-million pound capital project within the term of this period of cover. The tender should state if additional project cover would be required, or whether project insurance would be included within the insurance schedule as tendered. The council also acts as the corporate trustee for several charitable trusts, with land and asset ownership. Tender submissions should state if the trust assets will be covered under the council's policy. Please note that the council will require insurance cover for flood.
