## Summary

The Hampshire County Council has completed a contracting process for the provision of Casualty Insurance - Excess Layer 3 (£25m over £100m). This tender falls under the "Liability insurance services" category, supporting the County Council's risk management by extending its liability limits beyond the primary cover. Awarded to Allied World Assurance Company (Europe) Designated Activity Company, the contract runs from 1st April 2026 to 31st March 2027, with the award being active as of 26th March 2026. The procurement followed a competitive quotation method, deemed below the threshold, indicating a limited procurement approach. The process specifically addresses public and products liability, employers' liability, and pollution liability, with the location specified as Winchester, Hampshire (Postal Code: SO23 8UJ).

This tender presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in insurance risk management services, particularly those focusing on complex liability covers. Large enterprises with expertise in offering competitive excess layer liability solutions would have been well-positioned to compete for this contract, as the procurement sought a sophisticated risk indemnity beyond standard coverage limits. Given that the procurement methodology involved competitive quotations, businesses adept at navigating competitive but lower-threshold procurement landscapes would find value in such opportunities, enhancing their visibility and service reach within the public sector insurance domain.
