The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with submissions due by 6th March 2019. This initiative falls within the services category, specifically for legal expenses insurance services (CPV code: 66513100). The contract is expected to commence on 1st April 2019 and will last until 31st March 2020, covering delivery across various locations, including the UK and British Overseas Territories. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in legal insurance services, particularly those that are small or medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies with experience in providing insurance products and services, especially those that can cater to the unique needs of volunteer special constables, would be well-positioned to compete. Engaging in this process could help such businesses expand their portfolios and strengthen their presence in the public sector insurance market. ## Notice The Secretary of State for the Home Department (The Home Office) operates the Special Constables Legal Expenses Insurance Scheme. The scheme provides Special Constables (SCs) with personal legal protection and guidance for incidents arising while on duty, where subsequent legal representation may be required. This cover is necessary to ensure that SCs are not unfairly disadvantaged compared to their employed colleagues regarding access to legal advice. SCs give up their time to local police forces for free to help protect their communities. The current contract ends on 31st March 2019.
