## Summary

Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council procured insurance brokerage services for its corporate insurance portfolio. The requirement was to appoint an insurance broker to provide an independent broking service and help the council achieve best value across its corporate insurance arrangements. The work is delivered in Walsall, England, for the council’s corporate requirements. This is a professional services opportunity for an insurance brokerage rather than an insurer providing direct underwriting capacity. Relevant businesses include brokers able to advise a public-sector organisation on its portfolio, market risks and insurance placement, and to provide independent support across the council’s corporate insurance needs. The procurement is categorised as insurance services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 30 April 2026 to Arthur J. Gallagher Insurance Brokers Limited. The award value is £69,000, and the contract runs from 1 May 2026 to 30 April 2029. It was conducted as a selective call-off from a framework agreement, with tenders due by 17 April 2026 at 12:00. The council sought an independent broking service to support best value for its corporate insurance portfolio. The award is active. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The successful supplier is a large organisation. No separate lots are identified.

This award demonstrates that Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council uses a framework call-off to appoint an established insurance brokerage for its corporate portfolio. A credible future competitor would need to provide independent brokerage, understand the requirements and risk profile of a local authority, and manage insurance arrangements across a corporate portfolio rather than a single policy. The requirement favours a provider with the scale, specialist staff and market access to advise on cover, approach insurers and secure value for a public-sector client. Experience of serving councils or other complex organisations would help demonstrate the necessary understanding of governance, risk management and public-sector expectations. Businesses considering this type of work should also assess access to the relevant framework route, since this procurement was made through a framework call-off rather than an open standalone tender.
