## Summary

The British Tourist Authority, operating as VisitBritain/VisitEngland, has completed the procurement process for providing medical insurance to its team based in Dubai. This process is part of their compliance with Dubai Health Insurance Law No. 11 of 2013. The contract, titled "VisitBritain Dubai Team Medical Insurance," was directly awarded to Sukoon Insurance PSJC without competition, below the threshold, with DCMS approval for the period of 2025/2026. The award was made on 24th September 2025, ensuring operational and compliance continuity for the staff. The procurement belongs to the services category and is associated with the healthcare sector, specifically health insurance services, with the location being the United Arab Emirates.

This tender offers a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in health insurance services, particularly those interested in expanding within the Middle Eastern market. Although this specific contract for 2025/2026 was awarded directly, future procurement for 2026/2027 is expected to follow either a Public Sector Framework Agreement or an open competition, providing further opportunities for qualified companies. Businesses with expertise in providing compliant and competitive health insurance services would be advantageous candidates for future tenders, particularly organisations familiar with Gulf region regulations and capable of offering comprehensive insurance solutions.
