## Summary

The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames, represented by Kingston Council, has recently completed a procurement process for their Right to Buy (RTB) Leasehold Buildings Insurance. The contract sought to cover private dwellings sold under the RTB legislation, including flats and houses. The procurement method used was an open procedure, and the award was granted to Protector Insurance. The contract, worth £2,246,035 GBP, was signed on 22 March 2023.

This tender presents growth opportunities for insurance service providers interested in public sector contracts. Businesses specialising in insurance services, particularly those experienced in claims handling and policy cover, would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process was initiated following public procurement legislation requirements, with a focus on quality criteria such as claims handling, policy cover, and social value alongside pricing considerations.

## Notice

The Contracting Authority is tendering their Right to Buy (RTB) Leasehold Buildings Insurance in line with public procurement legislation in time for renewal on 1 April 2023. The insurance policy seeks to cover private dwellings sold on a leasehold basis, the majority of which were sold under the RTB legislation. The dwellings are flats in blocks, flats in houses (maisonettes) and houses where the Contracting Authority still retains the freehold ownership (including those referred to as mortgaged properties). In these situations the leases state that the Contracting Authority, as the Freeholder, will arrange the buildings insurance on behalf of the Leaseholder and recharge the cost to do so. Where units in some blocks have not been sold (Council tenanted) they are separately covered and so insurance cover for these units is not required.
