This contract covers legal liabilities related to the Trust's commercial activities that are not included in the NHS Resolution Schemes. The tender was procured through a selective method, specifically a call-off from the Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation's dynamic purchasing system. Located in the East Midlands, the contract started on 1st July 2026 and will run until 30th June 2029, with a total value of £50,000. The process reached the award stage on 17th July 2026, completing the procurement cycle initiated by the Trust. This procurement presents viable opportunities for businesses specialising in medical and health insurance services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are likely well-suited to engage in future bids, given the tailored nature of this public procurement process. As the contract targets niche insurance markets, companies with expertise in handling pharmaceutical liabilities outside of core NHS operations may find this an advantageous avenue for business expansion. With a focus on targeted services rather than broad-spectrum insurance, diversifying service offerings to include non-core NHS risk coverage can enhance a company's market position within the public sector. ## Notice The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust) requires a Supplier for provision of insurance for the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (The Trust)'s commercial activities. Pharmaceutical liability insurance covers legal liabilities in respect of death of or bodily injury to any person arising out of an accident in connection with its commercial activities. NHS Resolution Schemes (e.g. CNST, LTPS) are designed to cover core NHS activities, primarily clinical negligence arising from treatment of NHS patients and Liabilities directly linked to provision of NHS healthcare services. Pharmaceutical liability insurance covers liabilities in respect of noncore NHS risks arising from commercial, research, and product-related activities rather than standard clinical negligence. The Trust is therefore required to put a contract with a Supplier in place to provide pharmaceutical liability insurance to cover risks outside the scope of NHS Resolutions, responding to activities that fall outside the NHS Resolution Schemes. The term of the contract is 36 months.
