## Summary

South Gloucestershire Council is managing the procurement of insurance services for its waste sites through a comprehensive contracting process. The initial award period commenced on 2nd August 2025 and was initially set to conclude by 1st August 2026; however, a contract amendment extended the coverage until the end of November 2026 to coincide with the retendering of the council-wide insurance policy. This tender focuses on the services segment within the insurance industry, specifically targeting waste site insurance. Located in the United Kingdom, in the South West region (UKK12), South Gloucestershire Council's procurement process went through various stages including planning, tender, and award stages, with the most recent contract amendment occurring on 7th April 2026. The expected contract value is set at £405,956.84 GBP, following an open procurement method.

The procurement of waste site insurance presents a robust opportunity for businesses specialising in insurance services, particularly in the waste handling sector. Given the complexity and specific risks associated with waste facilities, including household waste recycling centres and transfer stations, firms with expertise in casualty insurance, employer liability, and public products liability are well-suited to participate. The Council has facilitated engagement through an insurance broker, Gallagher, specialising in such sectors, allowing businesses to align their risk management offerings with modern requirements, thus promoting competitive participation. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs), capable of providing comprehensive cover and meeting the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requirements, stand to gain significantly from participating in this procurement process, potentially benefiting from the £900,000 GBP project allocation spread across different insurance needs.

## Notice

On 2nd August 2025 South Gloucestershire Council bought in house 4 Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRC) and 2 Transfer Stations, for the storage , processing and onwards disposing of both household waste and some commercial waste. South Gloucestershire Council sought a provider for Insurance through an open tender procurement process, for which there were no bids received. Following the unsuccessful tender process the Council instructed Gallagher Insurance Broker to seek proposals from insurance providers for General Property cover relating to all waste sites. South Gloucestershire Council have awarded the contract through the Insurance Broker Gallagher to Corniche Underwriting Ltd, trading as Recyclesure.

### Planning Information

This Notice is to inform the market that preliminary market engagement has taken place in relation to South Gloucestershire Council's requirement for Waste Sites Insurance and Waste Plant Insurance.
The Contracting Authority has used the services of an Insurance Broker, Gallagher, who has specialist resource in both the Public and Waste / Recycling sectors. Gallagher sought to develop the authority’s requirements and approach to the procurement, and identify potential suppliers that may be able to supply the services required, as the waste insurance contract is not currently aligned to the authorities main insurance provision.
As part of the preliminary market engagement Gallagher commissioned surveys of the two main waste sites and used those documents to position the overall tender and seek engagement. It is critical in any engagement that the potential suppliers anticipate the full breadth of the risks before tendering and the surveys were provided for suppliers to review. Suppliers who took part in the preliminary market engagement had a discussion with the Gallagher Broking Manager around known underwriting appetite and experience of underwriting similar risks, with some suppliers providing proposal forms which were used to inform the technical specification that will form part of the tender documentation. Site surveys and further information will be included in the tender documentation.
