## Summary

The procurement process is for Insurance Services initiated by Bield Housing & Care, located in Edinburgh, UK. This tender falls under the services category and was previously actively awarded to Thistle Insurance Services Ltd and Marsh Limited. The current procurement stage involves a contract modification which extends the original procurement period for another 12 months, originally set to expire on 31 March 2021. The current contract, initially valued at approximately GBP 2.3 million, was signed on 10 February 2016, and will undergo retendering starting in July 2021.

This opportunity presents significant business growth potential for insurance brokers and service providers, particularly those specialised in insurance services. Companies that excel in risk assessment and client management would be well-suited to compete for this tender. The direct negotiation due to unforeseen circumstances indicates a need for flexible and responsive service providers, making this a strategic opportunity for businesses looking to expand their offerings within the UK insurance market.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

This contract was originally procured in 2016 for a 36-month period with a 24-month extension option, originally due to expire on 31 March 2021. It covers the brokerage and provision of Insurance Services for Bield Housing & Care, and was originally of an average yearly value of GBP460,086.54. This modification would add another 12 months to the period of the contract. Due to the impossibility of running a procurement exercise, this extension was directly negotiated with the incumbent provider.
