The tender, titled "Invitation to Tender for Property Insurance Quotations," falls under the financial and insurance services industry category. The procurement method is an open procedure, above threshold, with a total value of £3,150,000. The deadline for tender submissions is 1st December 2023, and the contract period is set to begin on 1st April 2024 and end on 31st March 2027, aiming to cover multiple property portfolios across the South East region of the United Kingdom. This tender opportunity from Brighton & Hove City Council presents a chance for SMEs to compete and secure a contract for providing property insurance services. Businesses in the insurance sector, particularly those experienced in managing leasehold properties and community homes, are well-suited to engage in this procurement process. The Council's preference for separate policies and the specific coverage requirements offer tailored opportunities for service providers to demonstrate their expertise in this niche insurance segment, fostering growth and potential long-term partnerships. ## Notice Brighton & Hove City Council invites bids for the provision of its property insurance in respect of private dwellings sold on a leasehold basis; the majority of these were under the Right To Buy (RTB) legislation. The dwellings are flats in blocks and flats in houses (maisonettes) where the Council still retain the freehold ownership and the leases state that the Council, as the Freeholder, will arrange the buildings insurance on behalf of the Leaseholder and recharge the premium as part of the Service Charge. Other flats in some blocks have not been sold (Council tenanted) and are separately insured so insurance cover for these flats is not required. Property insurance is also required for those properties in the ownership of Brighton & Hove Seaside Community Homes, a charity with whom the Council has 100% nomination rights. Three portfolios of properties make up this Tender all of which are included under the same lot, however three separate policies will be required from the successful bidder. Leasehold Right to Buy Properties and Domestic Leasehold Properties (Formerly known as Domestic Leasehold Flats) The Leasehold Right to Buy Properties policy is currently written on a sum insured basis as is the Domestic Leasehold Properties policy. The Council are seeking tender submissions for two separate policies, which will be awarded jointly and cover will commence at 00.01 on the 1st April 2024 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e39e32a-ce66-4f6d-880f-4020850a3e61 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 26 Oct 2023 | | Submission deadline | 1 Dec 2023 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2024 - 31 Mar 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,150,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BRIGHTON & HOVE CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | HOVE | | Post town | Brighton | | Postcode | BN3 2LS | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ2 Surrey, East and West Sussex | | ITL 3 | TLJ21 Brighton and Hove | | Local authority | Brighton and Hove | | Electoral ward | Central Hove | | Westminster constituency | Hove and Portslade | | Delivery location | TLJ South East (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 66 - Financial and insurance services ### Codes - 66000000 - Financial and insurance services ## Release History - 26 Oct 2023 at 12:33 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e39e32a-ce66-4f6d-880f-4020850a3e61 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/9e39e32a-ce66-4f6d-880f-4020850a3e61 26th October 2023 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
