## Summary

The procurement process for Directors and Officers Insurance Cover was initiated by the University of York, located in Yorkshire and the Humber, England. The tender was awarded through a selective procurement method, with a total value of £33,550, covering a one-year insurance period from August 1, 2021, to July 31, 2022. The procurement stage has been completed, and the award was officially made on October 18, 2021, following a failed previous attempt to source this insurance via a multi-lot competition. This process aimed to secure urgent coverage for the University, ensuring continuity of protection for its executives.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in the insurance sector, particularly those experienced in providing Directors and Officers insurance and those able to navigate framework agreements. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are especially encouraged to participate, given the suitability criteria. Companies like insurance brokers with a focus on educational institutions or public sector clients are well-positioned to compete for similar contracts, thereby facilitating potential growth through additional public sector engagements.

## Notice

The University of York has direct-awarded its Directors and Officers insurance cover for one year under the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation's framework agreement for Insurance Brokerage Services (964) . The D&O cover was initially included in a multi-lot further competition for the University's insurance cover requirements earlier in the year but no bids were submitted for this lot. It was therefore necessary to seek cover urgently via a different route. The previous supplier agreed to extend cover until the new arrangement could be put in place.
